The medical aid group Doctors Without Borders says at least eight hospital staff and patients in Idlib, Syria died and numerous others were still missing, after air strikes hit medical facilities. Mana Rabiee reports.
Images show people standing amidst the rubble of a house that was destroyed by a Russian air strike that killed seven people, four of them children, in the Jisr al-Shughur countryside of northern Syria. Russia, which did not comment immediately on the raid, is a main backer of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. With Russian and Iranian support, Damascus clawed back much of the ground lost in the early stages of Syria's conflict, which erupted in 2011 when the government brutally repressed pro-democracy protests. The last pocket of armed opposition to the regime includes large swathes of Idlib province and parts of the neighbouring Aleppo, Hama and Latakia provinces. IMAGES
At least 11 people have been killed and 19 others wounded after a Saudi-led air strike hit a Medecins Sans Frontieres hospital in Yemen's northern Hajja province on Monday.
