Air strikes destroy hospital in Aleppo countryside
None
BEIRUT - Air strikes destroyed the only hospital in the rebel-held town of Atareb in the countryside west of Aleppo on Monday, wounding several members of the medical staff, a war monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said warplanes pounded the town during the night and into Monday, knocking the hospital out of service permanently.
The strikes hit the hospital directly, as well as nearby areas, it said.
It is the only hospital in the town of Atareb and it serves an area that is home to nearly 60,000 people, the Observatory said.
