Following a ceasefire on January 12, 2026, residents of Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo, Syria, returned to widespread destruction after days of intense clashes between Syrian forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The fighting, which began after integration talks between the government and the SDF failed, resulted in dozens of deaths and the displacement of approximately 155,000 people. Syrian forces have reasserted full control over the affected areas, agreeing to relocate SDF fighters to Kurdish autonomous regions. The United Nations is working to provide essential supplies, including food and fuel, to the impacted neighborhoods. These battles were the most intense since the fall of then-President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
