Darat Izza district of Aleppo turns into ghost town

ALEPPO, SYRIA - DECEMBER 18: A destroyed building is seen in the Darat Izza district of Aleppo as the civil war continues in Syria on December 18, 2016. As a result of air attacks from warplanes belonging to the Assad regime, the Darat Izza, a district in western Aleppo that normally houses 100,000 people, has become essentially a ghost town. Destruction in the west of the district has opened the way for attacks. Despite all adverse conditions, the people are staying at home and struggling. The people of the district, whose social spaces such as schools and mosques have been destroyed as a result of air strikes, are struggling for their lives under tough winter conditions as a result of the targeting of their electricity lines.
