(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Beirut: At least 80,000 people have fled east Aleppo since the Syrian army began an operation in mid-November to recapture the rebel-held sector of the second city, a monitor said Tuesday.
The figure includes those who sought refuge in the government-held west of the city and the Kurdish-controlled enclave in between, but not those who fled south to remaining rebel-held territory, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
