Amateur video posted online and dated Tuesday (September 11) purportedly shows the aftermath of a Syrian army bombardment on the al-Haidaryah district in north eastern Aleppo.

The video shows people running down a flaming street, away from smoke in the distance.

It also shows people being resuced from a damaged building by being loaded into a bulldozer.

The Syrian government and allied militia have been accused by the United Nations and Western governments of numerous large-scale massacres, though the rebels are also facing allegations of mass killings.

The United Nations has said that over 20,000 people have been killed in the 18-month conflict in Syria. Syrian opposition groups say that more than 27,000 have died.
