Beirut (AP) — Syrian troops captured a rebel-held area on the edge of Aleppo on Saturday, tightening their siege on opposition-held neighborhoods in the northern city after what residents described as the heaviest air bombardment of the 5 ½-year civil war.

The U.N. meanwhile said that nearly 2 million people in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and onetime commercial center, are without running water following the escalation in fighting over the past few days.

The U.N. Security Council called an emergency meeting on the escalating attacks Sunday morning at the request of the United States, Britain and France.

Government forces captured the rebel-held Palestinian refugee camp of Handarat as airstrikes pounded rebel-held eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo, killing 52 people, including 11 children and six women, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The Local Coordination Committees, another monitoring group, said 49 were killed on Saturday alone.

In any other place, the group of women and girls sitting with their backs to the walls would have been nothing unusual.

But just a week ago, these women could not have sat here without risking death at the hands of ISIS thugs.

This is Jarablus, a Turkish border town which had been under the control of the violent extremists since 2013 until last week, when coalition forces took it back.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad drew up a ‘kill list’ which listed for assassination dozens of Britons accused of joining ISIS.

And the list included some 25 Britons – 14 of whom are already dead.

President Assad is reported to have handed his dossier of killings to two Conservative MPs – David Davis, the former shadow home affairs spokesman, and Adam Holloway, according to The Telegraph.

Among those thought to be named in the list include Reyaad Khan, 21, from Cardiff, who was killed by a US drone last year.
