ALEPPO (SYRIA) - Residents of rebel-held areas of Syria's Aleppo on Saturday faced food and fuel shortages after a Syrian government advance cut the opposition's last supply route into the city. The Castello Road wraps around Aleppo's eastern and northern edges and leads into rebel-controlled territory north of the battered city. But the Observatory said fresh government air strikes on rebel-held Aleppo killed four civilians on Saturday. "There's not a drop of fuel left because the Castello Road has been cut," he told AFP. In Aleppo, residents in the east said they feared ongoing shortages if the Castello Road remained closed.
