ALBAWABA - Aleppo in devastation after last week's mega earthquakes that hit south Turkey and northern Syria. Aleppo was just one of the Syria cities to take a battering with many killed, houses destroyed and infrastructure, and/or what's left of it, devastated. UN officials have been visiting the city recently. The United Nations says the disaster may have left up to 5.3 million people homeless in Syria, including 200,000 people in Aleppo alone.
