20 photos of the same places, before and after the Syrian war of the city of Aleppo. One of the oldest inhabited cities in the world.

Editor’s note: In 19 July 2012 an ongoing military confrontation began in Aleppo, the largest city in Syria, as a part of the Syrian Civil War. It was marked by the Syrian army’s use of barrel bombs dropped from helicopters, killing thousands of people and forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate. This battle has caused catastrophic destruction to the Old City Of Aleppo, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The pictures are shocking!

great find!

Wow! Just wow! These photos are so powerful. I had no idea of the beauty that was once there. I believe this shows a part of war that many people forget about. These powerful images show such devastation of something that was once so very beautiful. It's almost hard to believe that all those ruins were once places of beauty!

This is terrible! Just makes you think how only the fact that we're not in a war zone should make us grateful.
