Hundreds Killed In One Week Of Punishing Air Assaults In Syria's Aleppo -- CNN
(CNN) -- Nearly 500 people have been killed in more than a week of punishing air raids on Aleppo in northern Syria, according to the opposition Local Coordination Committees, as helicopters dropping so-called barrel bombs targeted the city.
The Syrian government has continued to relentlessly fire on rebel-held sections of the city after days of continued air assaults.
Barrel bombs -- drums packed with explosives and shrapnel -- can level entire buildings with one hit.
Since December 15, 495 people have been killed in Aleppo, the rebel stronghold, the Local Coordination Committees said.
Dozens were killed every day last week, with the heaviest toll on Sunday when 92 people died.
