Hospitals in Western Aleppo are dealing with a surge in patients
caught up in a rebel attack on government forces, who have the east of
the city under siege.
Activists say at least 15 civilians have been killled and more than 100 wounded by rebel shelling.
State media say seven people died.
Syrian rebels launched a counter-attack on government forces and their allies in western Aleppo on Friday.
The aim was to break a weeks-long siege on the eastern Syrian city.
The assault was mainly focused on the city’s western edge by rebels based in the countryside outside Aleppo.
Photographs seem to show insurgents approaching Aleppo in tanks, armoured vehicles, bulldozers, pick-up trucks and on motorcycles.
A large column of smoke can also be seen.
