Air raids strike 3 hospitals in northern Syria

Three hospitals in opposition-held areas of Syria's Aleppo province have been hit by air raids in the past 24 hours, wounding medical staff and patients, AFP reported Tuesday (November 15th).

One hospital in the village of Awijel in the west of the province was hit during the night, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Among the wounded were patients who had been moved there after a hospital in the nearby village of Kafr Naha was hit on Monday, the Observatory said.

A third hospital -- in the town of Atareb -- was hit five times in the early hours of Monday, the Observatory added. The strikes destroyed operating rooms and the hospital pharmacy, damaged ambulances and wounded medical staff .

The hospitals in Atareb and Kafr Naha have both been hit by previous airstrikes.
