攝影師Hannah Karim 拍下敘利亞戰爭前後對比照：昔日舊城已變成廢墟！ / Before And After: Heartbreaking Photos Display What War Did To Syria’s Largest City
16 photos of the same places, before and after the Syrian war of the city of Aleppo. One of the oldest inhabited cities in the world.
Editor’s note: In 19 July 2012 an ongoing military confrontation began in Aleppo, the largest city in Syria, as a part of the Syrian Civil War. It was marked by the Syrian army’s use of barrel bombs dropped from helicopters, killing thousands of people and forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate. This battle has caused catastrophic destruction to the Old City Of Aleppo, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

敘利亞內戰在２０１１年初爆發，最初只是政府和反政府派的衝突，後來卻變成了武裝衝突，當時的敘利亞軍隊使用轟炸機對付叛軍，但當地的人民亦難逃一死，短短的幾年間就造成了大量民眾傷亡，也讓許多敘利亞人無家可歸。而戰爭也導致敘利亞境內所有的世界遺產和古蹟都遭受破壞甚至被摧毀，第一天城市阿勒頗更是常常遭受空襲，整個城市儼然已成廢墟…
我們也許從沒經歷過戰爭時代的痛苦，究竟戰爭為一個地方帶來的破壞有多大呢？攝影師Hannah Karim 帶著照片舊地重遊，再拍攝現在的景象，讓世人了解戰爭帶來的傷害！
