Syria: 27 killed in airstrike on Aleppo hospital
An airstrike that hit a hospital in Syria killed 27 people, including children and one of the last few pediatricians in Aleppo, rights groups said.
Al Quds field hospital was hit by a missile from a fighter jet Wednesday, witnesses said. It’s unclear whom the fighter jet belonged to.
Fatalities in the attack included three children and three doctors, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The hospital was supported by Doctors Without Borders, which uses its French acronym, Médecins Sans Frontières. The hospital was “well known locally,” the charity group said. It’s not clear what type of support the facility received from MSF. The group condemned the attack.
