Aleppo in Syria was the most ferocious battlefield. 

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, government force started a death battle against Syria rebel armies in July, 2012. 

The brutal tragedy had been going up to December last year when rebel armies retreated. 

Aleppo was the important strategic position which was taken by rebel armies. 

So, government force kept attacking hard to take it back. 

As a result, Aleppo became ashes which was the most commercial city and had more than 2 million Syrian. 

The children fell beneath the crashed debris and died due to the brutal attack of the government force. 

Last August, a picture of five-year-old Omran Daqneesh who was rescued from a rubble due to the air attack of the government force brought big issue in the world reporting tragedy of Syria.

80% of Dresden was destroyed for 4 days from 1945, February 13 due to allied forces 'air bombing'. Official dead was 25,000. After that, with designated will and efforts, Dresden was rebuilt as a center of industries as if the old East Germany. Now this city stands for peace and unification. Dresden became a major industrial center in Europe. Dresden is also financially independent along with Wolfsburg among cities in Germany.

Halbouni wants to deliver the message of 'hope' through the Monument symbolling 'agony of Aleppo'. He said "Citizens of Aleppo did not stop putting efforts on their lives during consistent war. I'd like to thank to the people in the world who are working for cessation of war and peace."

Russia said it was dropping aid to trapped civilians in the city 

Dozens of people have died in an offensive by so-called Islamic State on government-held areas of Deir al-Zour in eastern Syria, local media say.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 85 civilians were killed in the attack, as well as 50 Syrian soldiers.

Syria's state news agency Sana reported that around 300 civilians had died in the Baghaliyeh area of the city.

Meanwhile, the UN warned of "sharply deteriorating conditions" in the besieged areas.

Around 200,000 people were in these areas, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.

• Dawn assault

The IS assault on government-held areas in the city began at dawn on Saturday, Syria's Local Coordination Committees (LCC) said.
A car bomb explosion was followed by a ground attack, the LCC said.
Government forces retaliated with air strikes and heavy artillery, the report said.
Russia said it had dropped aid to civilians caught up in the siege. There have also been reports of Russian airstrikes in the vicinity.

According to the Syrian observatory, IS now controls around 60% of the city.
More than 250,000 people have been killed and millions displaced after almost five years of conflict in Syria.
Blockades have been a feature of Syria's civil war. Up to 4.5 million people live in hard-to-reach areas, including nearly 400,000 people in 15 besieged locations who do not have access to life-saving aid.

• Towns under siege 

March 2015: Foah and Kefraya in Idlib province are besieged by rebel groups and the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front, with an estimated 12,500 trapped.
July 2015: Madaya, near Damascus, is besieged by government forces and their allies in Lebanon's Shia Islamist Hezbollah movement.
September 2015: The situation in Foah and Kefraya worsens after the fall of a nearby government air base, where helicopters had been able to land with food supplies. Reports emerge of people eating grass to survive.
October 2015: UN delivers one month's supply of food rations for 20,000 people in Madaya.
December 2015: Dozens of wounded civilians and fighters evacuated from Foah, Kefraya, Zabadani and Madaya. Reports begin to emerge of people starving in Madaya.
January 2016: UN says it has received credible reports of people dying of starvation in Madaya. Warns of "sharply deteriorating" conditions in parts of Deir al-Zor

• What's happening in Syria?

More than 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives in almost five years of conflict, which began with anti-government protests before escalating into a brutal civil war. More than 11 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and rebels opposed to his rule battle each other - as well as jihadist militants from Islamic State.

• Why are civilians under siege?

All parties to the conflict are using siege warfare, encircling populated areas, preventing civilians from leaving and blocking humanitarian access in an attempt to force opponents to surrender. Shortages of food, water, medicine, electricity and fuel have led to malnutrition and deaths among vulnerable groups.

• Where are the sieges?

Government forces are besieging various locations in the eastern Ghouta area, outside Damascus, as well as the capital's western suburb of Darayya and the nearby mountain towns of Zabadani and Madaya. Rebel forces have encircled the villages of Foah and Kefraya in the northern province of Idlib, while IS militants are besieging government-held areas in the eastern city of Deir al-Zour.

All those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword

We live in a heartless world although we say the world is a global village.

A passage from one of the scriptures says that a man's spirit is more valuable than the whole world.

However, the reality that unravels itself before our very eyes is that a man's life is worth less than the life of flies.

The civil war has been going on for a long time is Syria. 

As a result of this civil war, 11 out of the 18 million people that make up the population of Syria million lost their homes and 4 million people have become refugees.

The death toll has surpassed 240,000 people, and the death toll of children is more than 12,000 people.

The refugees have become strangers in the deserts, at the barbed-wire borders, at the Mediterranean Sea, and the harbors. They are begging for life.

However, because of the large number of refugees, the European countries are having a difficult time talking them in.
