Thirty-six people, nearly half of them children, 'killed by Syrian army'
"Rebel groups had issued a statement asking civilians in government-held parts of the city to move away from state security buildings, which they said would be targeted in retaliation for the bombings."
Because that's what they do, they are not barbarians, like the government they seek to overthrow. The figure of confirmed dead is now much higher than thirty-six.
Meanwhile, on the thread for the UN Syria Appeal*, we get comments like this:

"Link to video: Aleppo devastated by Syrian army bombs "
Really Guardian? Come on. A cheap shot...
Get the Saudis and Qataris to pay. They're responsible.

Well, parts of Aleppo have been devastated by Syrian army bombs, but it would be more accurate to say 'Aleppo devastated by civil war' and it would also be fair to point out that it was the rebels who brought the war to Aleppo in the first place. For a long time, beautiful Aleppo had managed to escape the war, and then rebels from oustide Aleppo deliverately launched an invasion of the city. They failed to take it, and the rest is history.
