THE MOST RESILIANT PEOPLE ON EARTH. THEY SAVE A MAN FROM ASSAD’S SNIPERS. Aleppo (Bab Al Hadeed): May 7, 2013 - A bewildered and elderly man lay on the street in Aleppo. He was shot by Assad’s snipers and does not know what to do. Local FSA fighters try to convince him to move to safety, they even throw him a line … none of which he responds to. Then finally a random civilian runs into the middle of the street and drags the old man to safety under a hail of bullets. He almost makes it but is a few feet short. A few seconds later yet another man jumps in to drag the man to safety, again, under a hail of bullets from Assad’s forces.

Thanks @NMSyria

STARING DEATH IN HE FACE. Aleppo (Salaheddin): May 1, 2013 - An Assadist tank turns it’s cannon toward these FSA fighters and fires as it attempts to storm the Salaheddin neighborhood in Aleppo. Vastly outgunned, the FSA still prevails. The FSA has an unlimited number of people willing to fight for a free Syria since they have popular backing. Whereas Assad’s forces have a finite and dwindling army that has become almost entirely sectarian and almost fully supported by the Iranian regime and Hezbullah mercenaries. 

Thanks @ANA_Feed

BUSTAN AL QASR’S “CROSSING OF DEATH” WHAT DAILY LIFE IS LIKE FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. Aleppo (Bustan Al Qasr): May 1, 2013 - This is what “life” is like in one neighborhood in Aleppo. Thousands of people must cross this street each day as Assad’s snipers relentlessly shoot anyone they wish. 

These scenes are repeated thousands of times each day across Syria …

Thanks @AmalHanano

CAN YOU WATCH THE ENTIRE VIDEO? THIS IS WHAT LEISHMANIASIS IS DOING TO OUR CHILDREN. Aleppo (Al Bab): May 1, 2013 - Due to the massive amounts of garbage, refuse, stagnant water and no working sewage system, this disease is no spreading like wildfire in Syria and especially i Aleppo amongst young children. Leishmaniasis is contracted by the Sand Fly, which thrives in unsanitary conditions. Due to Assad’s destruction of the country and the difficulty in getting treatment to many of the children, doctors have had to resort to various home-made treatments.

The effects of Leishmaniasis, which can be seen by open skin sores, can last anywhere from a few months to years after infection, include fever, damage to the spleen and liver, and anemia.  

The people of Syria not only have to deal with Assad’s daily massacres, hunger and misery but they must now deal with widespread disease.

Thanks @LccSy

CROSSING THIS STREET MAY BE THE LAST THING THESE PEOPLE EVER DO. Aleppo (Bustan Al Qasr): Apr 30, 2013 - Assad’s snipers don’t care. They will shoot anyone. This is how the people of Aleppo must move from street to street. They have to run for their lives. This is what everyday ‘life’ is like for these people … 

Thanks @NuffSilence

THIS IS WHAT DAILY ‘LIFE’ IS LIKE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY. Aleppo (Bustan Al Qasr): Apr 20, 2013 - What kind of life is this? To get from one street to the next you have to literally run for your life, or else Assad’s snipers will shoot you dead. You can hear a few of the shot ring out as people cross … Assad’s soldiers are merely ‘having fun’ by terrifying these people.

And you ask us why the people of Syria revolted?

Thanks @ANA_Feed

SHE WAS IN HER HOME WHEN ASSAD’S FORCES BOMBED HER HOME, KILLING HER. Aleppo (Anadan): Apr 17, 2013 - Aya Midlij is only a little girl. She did not deserve such a horrible death. The house she lived in came crashing down on her crushing her to death. Locals still don’t give up hope … they know she’s dead, yet they still try their hardest to pull her body from the rubble and get her to a clinic.
