Organization of Islamic Cooperation to hold emergency meeting on Aleppo
The OIC Executive Committee is composed of the so-called Islamic Troika — Egypt, Turkey and Gambia — as well as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Uzbekistan, and OIC Secretary General Iyad bin Amin Madani.
Aleppo has seen intense fighting over the past few months, with the Syrian army and local militia forces managing to encircle large groups of militants in the eastern districts of the city.
