Clinic In Syria Hit By Another Airstrike

A second medical facility is hit in rebel-held Aleppo as desperate attempts are made to salvage the 

 crumbling "ceasefire".

 

A Syrian clinic has been hit by an airstrike, the second time this week a medical facility has been struck, officials said.

The strike on the Al-Marja neighbourhood of rebel-held Aleppo wounded several people, the civil defence, known as the White Helmets, said.

Several other strikes appeared to target mosques in rebel-held areas. 

At least one child died and five people were injured in Friday's strikes, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Earlier this week, 30 people, including two doctors, were killed when the Al-Quds hospital and nearby flats were hit in rebel-held Sukkari neighbourhood.

Overall, airstrikes on rebel-held areas of Aleppo have killed 123 civilians including 18 children during the past seven days, the Observatory said.

The strikes come as the UN called on the US and Russia to salvage the "barely alive" two-month truce.

Russian state media said the "regime of silence", agreed by Russia and the US, will apply for 24 hours in Damascus and Aleppo and 72 hours in Latakia.

But the Syrian army declared that a temporary truce would affect Damascus and Latakia - but not in Aleppo.

Dozens Killed In Syria Airstrikes

The ceasefire brokered by the US and Russia in February has been crumbling, as casualty figures from government and opposition violence escalates.

Since mid-April more than 200 people are reported to have been killed, including at least 44 in an airstrike on a market in a rebel-held area of Idlib.
