Syria Aleppo in Dangerous Situation- Said UN

Air strikes on and around the Medecins Sans Frontieres-backed al-Quds hospital killed at least 27 people, while more than 30 died in other attacks.

The violence has left a partial truce hanging by a thread.

UN envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura warned the cessation of hostilities agreed between non-jihadist rebels and government forces on 27 February was now “barely alive”.

The UN said the situation in Syria’s city of Aleppo is catastrophic, after dozens of people were killed in attacks on targets including a hospital.

UN envoy Jan Egeland said the next days would be vital for the humanitarian aid lifeline for much of Syria.
