Syrian city of Aleppo may be destroyed by Christmas

There will be families around the world enjoying Christmas in a few months, but not everywhere. The UN representative to end the Syrian civil war said the city of Aleppo, with 275,000 people remaining, may be destroyed by Christmas. He has asked a group of fighters, associated with al Qaeda, to leave Aleppo. He would escort them to safety.
