In a surprising turn of events, the Syrian Army has publicly recognized that jihadists and rebel forces have taken control of extensive areas in Aleppo. This admission highlights the deteriorating situation in the region, with ongoing clashes and power shifts reported in several neighborhoods. According to a military spokesperson, the situation remains ‘dynamic and challenging,’ indicating that the Syrian government is struggling to regain full control. The comments came during a press briefing aimed at addressing concerns over the security situation in Aleppo and the rise of various armed groups in the area. The ongoing conflict has led to a humanitarian crisis, with many civilians caught in the crossfire of the violence. Activists have reported that hundreds of families have been displaced as a result of the recent clashes, further exacerbating the already dire conditions. Families are seeking safety in makeshift shelters, as access to basic necessities remains severely limited. An aid worker in the region stated, ‘The need for urgent humanitarian assistance has never been greater,’ underscoring the challenges faced by those trying to provide support in this tumultuous environment.
