Nearly 2,000 Syrians have been killed by government bombings since the beginning of the year in and around Aleppo, a rebel-held city.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says at least 14 people die each day.

Meanwhile, thousands are fleeing Syria ahead of next week's presidential election.

Many view the vote as a farce, causing opposition forces to threaten violence and denounce the result of the upcoming election.

"I just don't see any way possible for Bashar al-Assad to ever govern whatever you want to call Syria in the future, whatever constitutes Syria, to govern it with any legitimacy whatsoever," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said.

At least 162,000 Syrians have been killed since the uprising against Bashar Assad and his regime began in 2011.
