WATCH: Scenes of chaos amid air strikes on Aleppo

MEE video footage shows the aftermath of an air strike on a rebel-held area of Aleppo

The Syrian army and its allies continued to bomb rebel-held areas of Aleppo on Monday, including the heavily populated Bustan al-Qasr district.

Video footage captured by Middle East Eye showed the aftermath of one strike. A distressed woman in the street is seen crying, "My children, my children, where are they?" 

A second explosion then shakes the neighbourhood. It was not clear if the raids were conducted by Syrian or Russian jets.
