The People's Municipality in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh neighborhoods of Aleppo began cleaning the Jewish cemetery located on the southern edges of the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood on Sunday, at the request of the Jewish community.

The area to be cleaned is estimated at approximately 1,000 square meters, and the work is expected to take only one day.

The cemetery contains more than 300 headstones inscribed with Hebrew and a few with English.

According to several original residents of the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood, the cemetery is about 90 years old, having been established in its current location in 1935. A number of graves were transferred there from a previous cemetery in the Hamidiya area.
