Aleppo's famous laurel oil soap is back in production after some of the city’s traditional soap-making workshops became operational again following the conflict.

Family and regional soap-makers have returned to the Old Souk of Aleppo, as seen in footage on Saturday.

Aleppo is world-famous for its soap, which is produced in a traditional style that has won many fans across the globe. It is a natural product made of fine olive oil, laurel oil, water and lye.
