Aleppo civilians 'shot on the spot' – UN
Syrian pro-government forces have been entering homes in eastern Aleppo and killing those inside, including women and children, BBC reports referring the UN's statement.
The UN's human rights office said it had reliable evidence that in four areas 82 civilians were shot on the spot.
A spokesman said it looked like there had been a "complete meltdown of humanity in Aleppo".
Rebels, who have held east Aleppo for four years, are on the brink of defeat.
Thousands of people are reportedly trapped in the last remaining neighbourhoods still in rebel hands, facing intense bombardment as pro-government troops advance.
Notably earlier Panorama.am reported that the UN Secretary-General expressed grave concerns over reports of atrocities against a large number of civilians in Aleppo.
