Aleppo teacher: Why I'm not fleeing the city
Abdul Kafi is an English teacher who lives in Aleppo with his wife and eight month old baby daughter.
"We can't give up our freedom for anything, even for life," he says.
He tells the World at One's Martha Kearney about the Syrian Government leaflets telling the population "no one is coming to save you", and his decision to stay and continue teaching, despite the attacks.
