Is it safer in the city or the suburbs? Practice shows that there are more chances to survive in the city. It's easier to hide in an apartment building. And having a sufficient supply of food, you can hold out until the house falls. Eyewitnesses say that even from the ruins of Aleppo months later, people were taken out alive and unharmed.
GettyImages Private homes are more complicated. If such a house is in a combat zone, its residents are isolated. They find it harder to find medicines or get medical care. They are more vulnerable to looting and other illegal activities.
