Humanitarian crisis in Aleppo
A new humanitarian crisis is unfolding in the Syrian city of Aleppo, after a day-old cease-fire appeared to fall apart. Rebels and pro-government troops on the verge of retaking the whole city are attacking each other with gunfire and shelling. The United Nations warns of "a complete meltdown of humanity." The rebels are holed up among thousands of civilians in a sliver of territory in the East. Holly Williams reports from Istanbul, Turkey.

Tarab is just now getting surgery, two weeks later. Thousands of civilians are still in danger as Aleppo is close to falling. Debora Patta reports.
What's next in Aleppo?
The Syrian army is slowly advancing to claim full control of Aleppo from rebel forces. What does this mean for civilians caught in the civil war? Senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, joins CBSN with insight about what Aleppo could look like under the Assad regime.
Aleppo's Fate
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said a victory Aleppo will be a "huge step" toward the end of the civil war. Independent journalist Anna Day has covered the war in Syria extensively and joined CBSN from Beirut, Lebanon

Families torn by Syrian war
Syrian government troops are pushing deeper into rebel-held parts in Aleppo. Regime forces now control more than 70 percent of Syria's largest city. Reports from inside Syria Wednesday indicate some rebel groups are calling for a truce. The battle has left hundreds of Aleppo residents dead and tens of thousands of families have fled. Debora Patta spoke with one family who never left and never gave up hope.
Advancing on Aleppo
Russia says Syrian rebels fighting in Aleppo will be "destroyed" if they don't leave. The warning comes after Russia helped block a proposed United Nations truce in the besieged city. Debora Patta reports from Aleppo.

Aleppo falling to Assad
Syria's largest city, Aleppo, which was taken over in 2012 by anti-government rebels backed by the U.S., is slowly falling back under control of the Assad regime. For those who manage to escape to the government side, a hot meal and medical care await. Debora Patta reports.
Aleppo in ruins
The five-year-long civil war in Syria that left almost half a million people dead may be reaching a turning point. Russia's foreign minister said Saturday Russia is ready for talks with the U.S. on a rebel pullout from the besieged city of Aleppo. A human rights group says Syrian government forces, with the help of Russia, have captured 60 percent of Syria's largest city that was previously held by rebels. But the gains come with a staggering cost. Debora Patta reports from Aleppo.
