Bombing Hit Syria Aleppo Largest Hospital

Russian and Syrian air forces resumed attacks on the rebel-held east of the city after a partial truce lapsed on 19 September. Government forces have also launched a ground offensive against the rebels.

There are also reports of Russian-backed Syrian government forces hitting Aleppo’s historic Old City.

Clashes between government troops and rebels are occurring in several areas.

Russian and Syrian air raids on the rebel-held eastern half of the city of Aleppo have forced the closure of the largest hospital in the area and killed two people, a medical charity says.

The Syrian American Medical Society, which supports the hospital, said it had been struck by barrel bombs.
