At least 90 people have been killed in overnight air strikes by the Syrian Government and Russian forces across Syria. Most people were killed around Aleppo province, where more than three lakh civilians are trapped in rebel held territories.
The air raids hit the only hospital for women and children in the town of Kafr Hamra, killing two staffers, including a nurse, while 10 people were rescued from the rubble, the Syrian Civil Defence said.
Air strikes also hit a market in the nearby town of Urem al-Kubra, killing at least six people. Urem al-Kubra lies on the road linking Aleppo to the northern rebel-controlled province of Idlib, which has also seen intense bombing.
Russia’s military announced a three-hour daily halt in air strikes in Aleppo to allow humanitarian convoys on Thursday, but the UN said it is not nearly long enough to help trapped civilians.
