30 Before & After Pics Of Aleppo Reveal What War Did To Syria’s Largest City
The battle of Aleppo is slowly drawing to a close after almost four and a half years of brutal fighting. A ceasefire agreement was recently reached allowing people to leave besieged areas of the city and travel to rebel-held areas in Idlib province, and pro-government forces, who have taken nearly all rebel-held districts in the city, are in the process of evacuating civilians and rebel fighters.
Over 30,000 people are reported to have died since fighting began in 2012, and another 20,000 are thought to have been displaced from Syria's biggest city. Once a popular tourist destination, and famed for its spectacular white marble, Aleppo now lies in ruins. Much of the city's ancient heritage has been damaged, including the Great Mosque, which was built in the 8th century, and the citadel of Aleppo, considered to be one of the largest and oldest castles in the world. The battle might be coming to an end, but some of the damage will never be mended. Take a look at some of these heartbreaking before and after pictures to see the scale of devastation for yourself.

Sad and scary pictures :( so much beauty destroyed by the hand of human. I feel so much hatred and suffering from them. I can't imagine how hard to watch this must be for the survivors. All you have known is gone. I really really hope things are going to be better soon for Syria. Your beautiful country has suffered enough. Our country once sufferd too, the generation of my grandparents. After the revolution our president Václav Havel said: "Love always wins over lie and hatred." Dear Syrians I send you lots and lots of love from the Czech Republic and I hope you will win your freedom soon.

My god, I keep looking at all these pics and am just astonished at just how much war can destroy....Aleppo was a gem and now it has been reduced to nothing more than rubble, what is worse is that there are so many crimes against humanity being committed at the same time. If Aleppo ever gets rebuilt, it will take a long, long, long time....

A sad proof that life is an imagination on needle. Today happiness, tomorrow ruins. Yet, we should not give up on thinking good. As Budda said "with our thoughts we make the WORLD". I can't loose hope. I have children ...
