The toll includes 165 civilians -- among them 49 children -- killed in opposition fire on the city’s government-held western districts.
A**ther 168 civilians died in Russian and regime air strikes and shelling on its rebel-controlled eastern neighbourhoods, the Observatory said.

A**ther 109 people were killed in bombardment across the rest of Aleppo province during the same period, the Britain-based monitoring group said.
Approximately 250,000 people live in the city’s eastern districts, while a**ther 1.2 million live in its western neighbourhoods.
