This briefing note provides a rapid, evidence-based overview of the evolving protection risks in the city of Aleppo following the latest escalation of armed hostilities. It highlights immediate threats to civilians arising from fighting in densely populated areas, the expansion of security checkpoints, forced displacement, and restrictions on movement.

The briefing places particular emphasis on the heightened vulnerabilities of LGBTQIA+ individuals, women, persons with disabilities, displaced populations, and members of targeted ethnic communities. It documents patterns of violence, discrimination, and exclusion from humanitarian assistance, while underscoring the absence of protection mechanisms sensitive to gender identity, sexual orientation, and social diversity.

Designed for donors, humanitarian actors, and protection stakeholders, this briefing supports urgent decision-making, advocacy, and the prioritization of life-saving protection interventions in Aleppo.
