Drone footage obtained by Reuters shows the scale of destruction in eastern Aleppo, since the breakdown of a ceasefire in Syria last week.
The footage shows collapsed buildings, near-deserted streets and enormous water-filled craters.
The one-week truce in the country ended last Monday (September 19) when an aid convoy was hit by an air strike.
Since then, rebel-held eastern Aleppo has come under heavy bombardment by pro-government forces.
