Barrels packed with explosives and dropped from Syrian aircraft have killed 517 people in the northern province of Aleppo since 15 December, activists say.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says 151 were children and 46 women.
The city of Aleppo has been the focus of bitter fighting between President Bashar al-Assad's forces and rebels.

Can you remember what you were doing 19 months ago, May 2012?
I was living in a city in North England, doing a lot of cycling, and celebrating being awarded my PhD.
But I was also, as always, reading behind the NATO media headlines.
In May 2012 there occured yet another massacre of civilians in Syria, this time at al Houla. Activists told The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that Shabiha had entered the village and slaughtered innocent men, women and children. NATO media willingly repeated this lie, and NATO politicians jumped on the news, particularly William Hague, who I subsequently nicknamed Hasty Hague, and demanded immediate retribution in the form of large scale military action on Syria. I didn't believe the SOHR, and slowly began to uncover what really happened. I won't go into the details here but you can search on Houla on this blog. What happened in al Houla was that cutthroats entered the village and attacked checkpoints manned by the Syrian Arab Army. The cutthroats then proceeded to massacre two large extended families who were living in remote farmhouses. These families were massacred because, despite being Sunni (like the cutthroats), they supported Assad. Men, women and children were slaughtered. To hide the crime 'activists' said that Shabiha had entered the village and done it. They lied. Their story was easily torn apart, and it made no sense whatsoever.
The SOHR has no credibility. It simply repeats the lies of cutthroats.
One wonders why Jihadi Hague hasn't mentioned Aleppo on his Twitter account.
Perhaps even he doesn't believe the SOHR anymore.
And I have yet to see a photograph or film of these barrel bombs being dropped out of a helicopter over Aleppo. For at least 2 weeks this has allegedly been going on, yet not one photograph of a barrel bomb being dropped has been provided. Photographs of the alleged aftermath, yes, but not of a helicopter or a barrel bomb being dropped out of one. Which is very strange because a helicopter is one of the noisiest machines on the planet. You would think that upon hearing the very loud approach of a helicopter at least one of the cutthroats would have their camera primed to photograph one of these bombs being dropped. But no. This logic escapes the cutthroats. Perhaps that is why they have been cutting the throats of Syrian children (with the backing of Jihadi Hague) without realising that they are actually demonically possessed and committing their evil not for Allah but for Israel.
I cannot say for certain what is happening in Aleppo, other than the brave and competent Syrian Arab Army is about to liberate it from the demonically possessed cutthroats. But I think it is a very safe bet to say that events are not occuring as the totally unreliable and discredited SOHR suggest.
UPDATE : But just after I have posted this Jihadi Hague has tweeted that he has spoken to Bonesman Kerry about Aleppo. Hmm.
