One year has passed since the devastating earthquake of Aleppo city and internal and external efforts to provide relief needs to help the victims of the earthquake in this city continue. Meanwhile, the sanctions imposed by the United States against Syria are still an obstacle to sending any humanitarian aid to the people of this city.
