'Aleppo is going to die'; thousands flee government bombing of Aleppo

Thousands of residents have been fleeing eastern Aleppo after simultaneous advances inside the divided city by Syrian government and Kurdish-led forces.

Rebel defences collapsed as government forces pushed into the city's Sakhour neighborhood on Sunday, coming within one kilometre (0.6 miles) of commanding a corridor in eastern Aleppo for the first time since rebels swept into the city in 2012, according to Syrian state media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group.
