The Syrian Observer:
Residents of Ashrafiyeh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighbourhoods in Aleppo, northern Syria, have been suffering from a power outage for the ninth day in a row due to a siege imposed by Syrian government forces, as the latter prevents entry of diesel to the area.
Electricity generators have stopped working due to a lack of diesel, saving the remaining quantities to operate hospitals and bakeries.
Local sources from the neighbourhoods told North Press that “due to the siege, work in factories has been suspended.”
“Feeding hours of the subsidized power do not exceed one hour per day, which does not meet the needs of factories and industrial workshops, and it does not even light up houses at night,” according to the sources.
