Battle for Hama Intensifies
Syrian government troops have rushed reinforcements to Hama’s northern countryside amid fierce clashes with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied rebel factions. State media claims defenses are holding strong, but UK-based monitors report militants advancing from multiple fronts.
Aleppo’s Humanitarian Nightmare
Rebel-controlled Aleppo faces collapsing infrastructure, with hospitals like Zahi Azraq barely functional. Over 2,000 displaced residents from Shiite towns are stranded in freezing conditions, while armed groups loot homes under the guise of 'inspections.'
US-Led Strikes in Deir el-Zour
Fighting erupted between Syrian forces and Kurdish-led SDF fighters backed by US airstrikes near a military airbase. Six elite soldiers were killed, but the SDF has gained little ground so far. Observers warn the conflict could trigger broader destabilization.
Global Call for Action
Humanitarian agencies urge UN intervention as food shortages and communication blackouts paralyze cities. 'This isn’t just a war zone – it’s a race against time,' one activist told local media. Will the world respond before winter claims more lives?
