Syria: Video shows bombing of a children hospital in Aleppo
Footage obtained by The Associated Press shows the moment a children’s hospital in northern Syria was hit by an airstrike.
The exclusive CCTV video shows the interior and exterior of the pediatric facility in rebel-held eastern Aleppo, as it was hit by the bomb on Friday.
The Syrian government has stepped up its bombardment of besieged eastern Aleppo — an onslaught that began last week when Syria’s ally Russia announced its own offensive on opposition-controlled parts of the country. Since then, more than 100 people have been killed across northern Syria.
On Friday alone, airstrikes hit four hospitals in east Aleppo, effectively rendering all hospitals in the enclave of 275,000 people out of service, according to the opposition’s Aleppo Health Directorate and the World Health Organization.
