Istanbul/Beirut, Rabi'I 10, 1438, Dec 9, 2016, SPA -- Heavy shelling was taking place Friday in the last rebel-held districts of eastern Aleppo, as the United Nations warned that tens of thousands of displaced people are in need of shelter as temperatures drop at night during the winter weather, as dpa reported. "All night, until this minute, the shelling has not stopped," said a man who gave his name as Abu Omar, living in Kalasa district. The majority of the rebel enclave in the northern Syrian city is now under government control as its forces continue to advance. "Our biggest concern is how to shelter all these people," said Linda Tom of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Damascus, the main coordinating body for relief efforts. --SPA 12:40 LOCAL TIME 09:40 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w286710
