The Syrian Ministry of Public Works demolished a building in Aleppo on Monday, that was deemed unsafe due to damage sustained from last year's earthquake.

Footage captured the scene as residents gathered around the evacuated structure, witnessing heavy machinery begin the demolition process.

Hanadi, a resident, shared her emotional turmoil, saying, "I have absolutely nothing. I've settled with my husband, thanks to Allah, but now I lost everything, my home and my belongings. I became homeless and without any clothes to protect me."

Engineers affirmed the successful completion of the demolition, ensuring no casualties occurred during the process.

Muhammad Jisri, a military construction engineer, provided reassurance, stating, “We attended to the site and provided direct support. The demolition was completed successfully without causing any casualties, thanks to Allah.”

Following thorough inspections by committees in the wake of the earthquake, which struck on February 6, 2023, the decision was made to demolish the compromised building.

The earthquakes that struck northern Syria and southern Turkey on February 6 left a trail of destruction, with Aleppo, Hama, and Idlib bearing most of the brunt of the devastation in Syria.
