Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Following 'White Helmets' on their rescue missions in Aleppo Aleppo was once Syria's largest city. But since the war, buildings have become hollowed out shells. There’s rubble everywhere, food is scarce and electricity spotty. There’s the constant threat of bombs falling from Syrian or Russian aircraft.
