The
humanitarian disaster in eastern Aleppo due to the massive attacks of
the Syrian regime and its allies, Russia and Iran, on the city, as well
as Aleppo's recent recapture by the regime, have been widely addressed
in the Arab media, including in many Cartoons, especially in the Gulf
press. Depicting the catastrophic situation in Aleppo prior to its fall,
and also commenting on the deal for evacuating civilians and fighters
from the city, the cartoons presented the Assad regime and its allies as
the perpetrators of war crimes and mass-murder. They also leveled harsh
criticism at the U.N. and international community for ignoring Aleppo's
plight and not doing anything to rescue the city.
The following is a sampling of the cartoons published in the Gulf press.
