Monday 11th July:

Aleppo is On Fire as Jihadist Rebels Flood the City with Rockets
The jihadist rebels are taking out their frustrations against the civilians of Aleppo City after several failed offensives in the northern countryside of the province.

Led by Jabhat Al-Nusra and the Free Syrian Army (FSA), the jihadist rebels fired over 400 indiscriminate missiles and artillery towards the Assyrian Quarter of Aleppo City, Boustan
Al-Kaser, Munshieh, Jedeyde, Seyf Al-Dawle, Ashrafieh, Sheikh Taha, Saad Alla Jabri, Meridian and other Christian neighborhoods, causing large-scale destruction to these areas. A large number of civilians are believed to be dead or wounded because of these heinous attacks. Several buildings have already collapsed because of the targeted shelling

We call on the UN and the international community to initiate immediate measures to secure the physical safety of unarmed population in Aleppo City.
Regards,
Rev. Haroutune Selimian
