The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Friday that the number of civilian deaths in the armed clashes between the conflicting forces in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiya neighborhoods in Aleppo, Syria, has reached 25, including children and women, since the clashes began on January 7 of this month.

The Observatory stated on its website that the casualties were distributed as follows: 19 killed in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood, including 5 women and 4 children; 4 killed in the Al-Midan area, including two women and one child; and two killed from the staff of Uthman Hospital in the Ashrafiya neighborhood.

The Syrian Observatory indicated that this toll reflects the continued pace of human losses among the conflicting forces in areas of conflict, coming at a time of increasing military tension. Forces affiliated with the current authorities are intensifying their presence in the city, while the situation remains fragile and threatens the stability of civilians surrounding the clash areas.

It warned of the continuation of these confrontations, confirming that the escalation of clashes exacerbates human losses and increases the suffering of residents in conflict areas.
