A Syrian youth wounded in a car accident is rushed to Aleppo's Al-Razi Hospital on December 6, 2024, one week after the northern Syrian city was overrun by Islamist-led rebel fighters in a surprise offensive. Aleppo, Syria's economic lung and second city, has been administered for a week by rebel groups who have been working to restore basic services, bread, water, telecoms, transposing the "salvation government" model established in their stronghold of Idlib since 2017.
