2026 Aleppo Syria Ceasefire: Residents Return to Ruins After Deadly SDF-Army Clashes
Residents return to Aleppo following the 2026 Aleppo Syria ceasefire. Explore the impact of the clashes between the SDF and government forces and the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
The guns have fallen silent, but the scars of battle remain. On January 11, 2026, residents of Aleppo’s Kurdish neighborhoods began returning to their homes following a 2026 Aleppo Syria ceasefire that ended days of intense fighting between government forces and the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces).
Origins of the 2026 Aleppo Syria Ceasefire
The violence erupted last Tuesday after negotiations to integrate the SDF into the national army stalled. According to news agencies, these clashes were the most significant since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. By Sunday, the government had secured full control of the Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud districts as part of a deal to relocate Kurdish fighters.
Humanitarian Crisis: 155,000 Displaced
The brief but brutal conflict has left a trail of destruction. Syrian authorities reported that the fighting killed dozens and displaced approximately 155,000 people. The United Nations is now scrambling to send convoys with food, fuel, and blankets to the ravaged neighborhoods.
