CITY DAMAGE ANALYSIS
According to the official 2007 population census, Aleppo was the most populous city in Syria before the Syrian Civil War, with 1,900,000 inhabitants.
Starting in 2012, the Civil War led Aleppo to become the center of a prolonged battle that led to the division of the city between a western part controlled by the government and an eastern part controlled by the rebels, with the consequent flight of many civilians.
During the Civil War the city was the site of fierce fighting that caused serious damage to many historic buildings, part of the ‘Old City of Aleppo World Heritage Site’.
