Syrian children had some fun in a makeshift pool amid the rubble of their rebel-held and war-torn home city of Aleppo.

Photos posted by the Aleppo Media Center on Wednesday showed several children playing in a crater caused by a missile strike that had collected water from a damaged pipe.

One photo captures a boy diving into the muddy water while his mates watch: 

The AMC's tweet reads: "Whatever Assad has done in Aleppo, life isn't over -- its children make a new life in every site destroyed by his rockets. Sheikh Saeed District #AleppoAMC."

The makeshift swimming pool was in the southern district of Sheikh Saee. Under the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, people have suffered from brutal conflict - ongoing missile attacks, bombs and artillery fire - for several years.
