As the Syrian army offensive continues, backed by Russian air strikes, against rebel held areas in the key northern city of Aleppo and the surrounding area there are fears now of a siege of the city. So far thousands have fled and are at the border with Turkey. Rami Jarrah, a journalist and activist from Aleppo, currently in Turkey, says those people who remain are facing total chaos.
