Storm Alexa sweeps through Aleppo, forces school closures
Storm Alexa continues to sweep through Syria’s Aleppo, Perio News said.
Aleppo residents have to battle for survival under grave domestic, economic and political conditions, with the country being gripped by civil war. Besides, they face severe weather conditions, which are part of a storm, dubbed Alexa, pounding much of Lebanon and parts of northern Syria since Wednesday. Fuel shortage and power outage add to the tough situation in Aleppo.
Schools in Aleppo will be closed until Monday due to Alexa. The domestic crisis is predicted to worsen on the eve of the New Year.
