Main Water Supplies to Aleppo Cut Off
The main water supply to the northern city of Aleppo, Syria's commercial hub, has been cut off by government troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
More than three million residents of Aleppo lost access to their drinking water after the main water pipeline was destroyed in an airstrike by government forces, according to Ausama Monajed, a member of the opposition Syrian National Council.
