East Aleppo flooded after water turned back on

MEE contributor and Aleppo resident Zouhir al-Shimale has said that the streets of East Aleppo are flooded after the water sytem was fixed and turned back on. 

Residents have had to face weeks of water shortages after key desalination plants were targeted by Syrian government and Russian air-strikes, according to activists on the ground. 

Activists also told MEE that fixing the water system will not help the situation in East Aleppo as the government siege has led to a shortage of fuel used to power water transport vehicles in the rebel controlled area.
