Fighting is raging throughout Aleppo, a key battleground in Syria's 17-month conflict, which has pitted rebels against forces loyal to president Bashar al-Assad.
Meanwhile, another amateur video shows a fire-damaged hospital in the capital, Damascus.
Activists say the facility was attacked by government forces.
They also claim that at least four civilians - some with their hands bound - were executed in another part of the capital.
The U.N. says 1,600 people were killed in Syria last week, the highest weekly figure since violence erupted last year.
