Is Russia Bombing Hospitals In Syria?

Reuters: Air strikes hit at least 12 hospitals in Syria in past weeks: MSF

Air strikes in northern Syria have hit at least 12 hospitals in recent weeks, killing at least 35 patients and medical staff in a new escalation of fighting, international medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres said on Thursday.

The violence has also caused the displacement of thousands of civilians since the end of September, MSF said, reporting a significant increase strikes on medical facilities.

The charity did not specify which country had carried out the air strikes. Russian and Syrian jets have been carrying out an intense air offensive in the west and northwest Syria.

Along with the dozens killed, another 72 were wounded in the strikes on hospitals in Aleppo, Idlib and Hama provinces, and six hospitals were forced to close, MSF said in a statement.

WNU Editor: I do not know if Russia is bombing hospitals, but if the Syrian rebels are using these hospitals as a base for operations .... it would not surprise me if they do get bombed. Ditto if it a mosque or school is used as a base. Hmmm .... No firsthand info on alleged Russian 'airstrike' on hospital in Syria – Red Cross top executive (RT).
