Barrel bombs were been dropped over Aleppo on Thursday killing at least 14 people according to the activist group, The Aleppo Media Centre. In the past five days alone, airstrikes with so-called barrel bombs have killed at least 246 people, including 73 children in Aleppo, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Thursday. For nearly two months, President Bashar Assad’s forces have waged a relentless and deadly aerial campaign against the city of Aleppo, which has allowed his troops to make modest inroads in recent weeks in rebel-controlled areas of the divided city.
