VOICED : In Syrias Homs war ravaged ancient market slowly reemerges

The video discusses the recapture of a city from rebels, leaving much of it in ruins due to a prolonged siege. A UN-backed project aims to restore a historic market, part of many sites damaged in the conflict that killed 290,000 people. The market, dating back to the 13th century, was seized by rebels in 2012 and retaken by the army in 2014. Despite avoiding some military action, the area suffered significant damage. Many shops remain abandoned, though some have reopened. The loss of cultural heritage is profound, with efforts to restore infrastructure ongoing. Merchants hope to revive the market to its former glory.
