100 Women 2016: Aleppo nurse on life in a war zone
Aleppo, once Syria's commercial and industrial hub, has been divided between the government and rebels since 2012.
About 250,000 people remain trapped in the rebel-held eastern side, which remains heavily hit by government strikes.
Um-Yehia was a trained accountant and a mother of four. Now a nurse in Aleppo, she talks to the BBC's 100 Women season about life in a war zone and how it changed her life forever.
