Casualties, Heavy Damage as Maternity Hospital Bombed in Syria's Idlib

A maternity hospital supported by Save the Children was bombed Friday in an air raid in Idlib province of northwest Syria, causing casualties and heavy damage, the Britain-based charity said.

"Save the Children supported maternity hospital in #Idlib bombed, casualties reported - numbers unconfirmed," it tweeted.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also said that the hospital in the rebel-held town of Kafar Takharim was heavily damaged and left barely operational.

The monitoring group did not specify if the raid was carried out by Syrian regime aircraft or warplanes of its Russian allies.

The bombing "hit the entrance to the hospital, which is the biggest in the area, serving over 1300 women monthly and carrying out over 300 deliveries a month," Save the Children said in an email.

"This is the only hospital specializing in maternity and children in the northern western side of rural Idlib."

Last week, air raids struck four makeshift hospitals and a blood bank over a 24-hour period in the regime-besieged eastern sector of the city of Aleppo.

The best comment one can offer regrading these confirmed war crimes is to quote @Mystic:

"Mystic

Assad is a good forgiving man. The takfiris did all this against Syria, yet he will still give them amnesty."

Why does nobody condemn the U.S coalition bombing of civilians?
When the Syrian army bombs an Al Qaeda bastion in Idlib it is a childs hospital?

When Nusra bombed Southern neighbourhoods in Beirut, it was called a strike in Hezbollah bastion by Naharnet.
