The civil war in Syria has gone from bad to worse ever since rebel forces began their assault after the 2011 Arab spring to oust the Assad regime from power. An estimate shows that almost 312,000 people have died in war in five years and still there are no signs of an end to the atrocities being committed on innocent people in the war torn country.

Many countries around the world have been asking for the Assad, Russia and Iran alliance to stop their assaults considering the extensive loss of human life that the world is witnessing in Aleppo every day. Take a look at the impassionate speech by US ambassador to UN Samantha Powers asking for immediate steps to control the situation in Aleppo.

As of Tuesday, 13th December 2016, the rebel forces have agreed to the ceasefire and are on their way out of the city of Aleppo. But considering that the rebel forces still hold vast swathes of areas in northern Syria, the war is far from over.

Here is how you and I can help the city of Aleppo and thousands of other Syrian refugees in their fight for survival.
