6 People Killed, Over a Dozen Injured in Aleppo Hospital Shelling

HeadlineMar 22, 2021

In Syria, at least six people are dead — including a child and medical workers — after Syrian forces shelled a hospital outside the rebel-controlled city of Aleppo on Sunday. Sixteen civilians were also wounded in the assault, four of them critically. The attack came despite a ceasefire deal brokered by Russia and Turkey in March of 2020. Physicians for Human Rights has documented nearly 600 attacks on healthcare facilities by Syria’s military and its allies since the start of the civil war a decade ago.
