VITAL supply convoys began to reach the Syrian city of Aleppo this weekend as fierce fighting continued in the province.

Four civilians — including a child —  were killed in the city yesterday when a rebel-launched artillery rocket fell on a residential building in al-Neel street.

Three people were also injured by the rocket launched from the Bani Zeid district. Four more were injured on Saturday when rockets hit al-Ashrafiyeh district.
