The Syrian government extended its intense aerial campaign against rebel-held areas in the Old City of Aleppo on Wednesday, conducting a series of airstrikes that killed a family of 7 members, a monitoring group said.
The Syria Network for Human Rights said 7 victims including 3 children and 2 women due to barrel bomb attack on al-Balat neighborhood in Aleppo.
About 150 victims died in government’s shelling on Aleppo from May 1, 2015 to May 20, according to SNHR documentation.
For months, the regime has waged an unrelenting aerial campaign against the opposition-held areas making particular use of crude so-called barrel bombs.
Rights groups criticize the weapons as indiscriminate and say they are more likely to cause civilian casualties.
Syria's four-year-old war has killed more than 220,000 people and forced millions out of their homes.
