Animals trapped in Aleppo's damaged zoo have finally been rescued after more than six years of war.

The animals, including lions, tigers and bears, have been taken to a rehabilitation centre in western Turkey from the abandoned Aalim al-Sahar (Magic World) zoo.

The rescue effort was a joint project by charity Four Paws and the Turkish environment ministry.

Vets are now treating the animals, which will undergo rehabilitation before being found new homes.
