Rebels fighting to hold Syria's economic hub from government forces are facing an enemy their AK47's cannot target.
A virulent flesh-eating disease known as 'Aleppo boil' is sweeping the city as the destruction of its infrastructure has led to a breakdown in sanitation systems.
Also known as the 'Aleppo evil' or, to give it its proper name, cutaneous leishmaniasis, it causes painful lesions which can become secondarily infected, often leading to permanent disfigurement.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
