An airstrike on a pediatric hospital in Syria has killed 50 people, rights and humanitarian groups say, as the United Nations warns that the situation in Aleppo has become “catastrophic” amid intensified fighting in recent days.
The U.N. special envoy to Syria, Staffan de Mistura, told reporters in Geneva on Thursday that Syria’s nationwide “cessation of hostilities” is under serious threat of collapse, and that a humanitarian disaster is unfolding as violence increases in Aleppo and three other locations.
Al Quds field hospital, situated in a rebel-held neighborhood in Aleppo, was hit by a missile from a fighter jet Wednesday, witnesses said.
The airstrike killed 50 people, according to Pablo Marco, the operations manager for Doctors Without Borders in the Middle East.
Marco told CNN that at least six of the dead were hospital staff: Two doctors, two nurses, one guard and one maintenance worker. The death toll could still rise.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry condemned the attack Thursday and pointed a finger of blame at the Syrian government.
