Life during wartime in Aleppo, Syria: ‘a particular focus on the remaining civilians living in the hostile environment, caused by the ongoing conflict between the Free Syrian Army and the government. It documents daily life, demonstrations for peace, children collecting wood to get heat in a city where the electricity has been shut, how the families get food supplies, and how the people try to maintain schools, health care, and a local mental institute’ – from the Kontinent (Swedish Photojournalist Agency)  http://kontinent.se/photographers/niclas_hammarstrom
