Amnesty: Satellite images show Aleppo devastation

None

Satellite images have laid bare the suffering inflicted on Syria's largest city, a London-based rights group said Wednesday, cataloguing hundreds of damaged or destroyed houses and more than 1,000 roadblocks.

  

"Satellite images really speak for themselves," said Donetella Rovera, a senior Amnesty adviser who recently returned from a trip to Aleppo. "You can see really clearly buildings that were there a year ago that are no longer there today, and we're matching those with research on the ground so we know exactly the areas that were struck, when, by what kind of weapons."
