A Syrian worker fixes the roof of the covered Souk al-Saqatiyya in Aleppo, northern Syria, on Dec. 19, 2018. In Syria's northern Aleppo city, the determination of the residents to rebuild their lives and city is stronger than the massive destruction that has befallen them. Two years since its liberation, people have already rolled up their sleeves and started fixing the destruction in the ancient walled marketplace in the city, not discouraged by the devastation.
