The scramble for signs of life in the aftermath of an attack in northern Syria.

At least 20 people are killed after government forces dropped a so-called Barrel bomb in a suburb of Aleppo Sunday.

Those improvised bombs are typically rolled out of the back of helicopters and are an indiscriminate form of warfare.

So far, diplomacy has done little to put out the flames of war.

Rights groups say the death toll in Syria has nearly hit 126,000. And that number is only expected to go higher.

On the streets, residents struggle to pull a woman from the rubble.

The video, which cannot be independently verified by Reuters, comes at a time of heavy fighting across country.

While a peace conference is set for late January -- the bodybags just keep coming -- in a war that shows few signs of ending anytime soon.
