After two decades apart, a Syrian father and son were unexpectedly reunited in Aleppo, a city scarred by years of brutal conflict.
Their emotional embrace, captured on video, symbolizes hope amidst the ongoing uncertainty and fear gripping the population.
This reunion became possible due to a recent rebel offensive that shifted control of parts of Aleppo, creating a brief window of opportunity.
However, the fragile peace is overshadowed by anxieties about renewed violence and the uncertain future of the city's residents.
