Reporter sees intense fighting in Aleppo amid mass evacuations

Thousands Flee Aleppo Amid Ongoing Conflict

A state of emergency has been declared in parts of Aleppo, Syria, following clashes between government forces and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The fighting has resulted in widespread displacement, with thousands of civilians forced to flee areas previously designated as “closed military zones” by the government.

According to eyewitnesses, the conflict is ongoing, with both sides engaging in intense combat. Al Jazeera reporter Resul Serdar is currently on the ground, providing live updates from the affected area.

The Syrian government has established “closed military zones” in various parts of Aleppo, which are off-limits to civilians and journalists. However, the fighting has made it impossible for residents to remain in these areas, leading to a mass exodus of people seeking safety elsewhere.

Details on the number of displaced individuals and the extent of the damage are still emerging. The situation remains fluid, with both sides continuing to engage in combat.

The conflict in Aleppo is part of a larger civil war that has been ongoing in Syria since 2011. The SDF, which is backed by the US-led coalition, has been fighting against government forces and other rebel groups.

As the situation continues to unfold, Al Jazeera will provide updates on the developments in Aleppo and beyond.
