'Russian planes' destroy Syria's Cave Hospital
 A hospital dug into a mountain in Syria has reportedly been taken out of action after airstrikes. The International Union of Medical Care and Relief Organisations said there were minor injuries when the Dr Hasan Al-Araj hospital, also known as the Cave Hospital, was struck twice on Sunday. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has claimed Russian warplanes carried out the attacks that hit the hospital just outside Hama province. It is also claimed another hospital was destroyed over the weekend. The government-controlled Syrian Central Military Media has released footage said to be of Al-Kindi hospital in northern Aleppo. It was reportedly taken by Syrian government troops and allies. These are the latest in a growing number of attacks on hospitals throughout Syria. Syrian and Russian warplanes have been blamed for a series of strikes that have damaged hospitals and clinics in rebel-held parts of the country. Posted by: Steve White 2016-10-03 |
