Aleppo's Water Supply Cut as Syria Death Toll Nears 25,000

Aleppo has been the scene of some of the hardest fighting in the Syrian civil war, and now things have gotten worse for the city.

On Sunday, the city that was once the commercial center of the country, as well as the largest city, saw it's water supply cut off.

Rebel forces say that a government air strike took out the pipeline, whilst the government blames it on the rebels.

Either way the situation for the besieged city, is now much more dire.

The city is far from the only place where fighting is happening, as much of the country has seen violence.

Damascus, the capital, has been another focus of the conflict, and at times it has spilled into neighboring countries, such as Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq.

Death tolls throughout the country have been rising, with official numbers nearing twenty-five thousand since the uprising began.

Rebel forces are openly being aided by Al Qaeda and Libyan freedom fighters, whilst national forces are helped by Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Meanwhile Russia, with help from China, limits the amount of help coming from the UN.

The US, EU, and other nations have been strongly vocal about coming to the aid of the rebels, but have not officially committed any actions.

Accusations that the US is actively aiding the rebels have been made, but no proof has surfaced beyond the giving of medical supplies.
