6 People Killed, Over a Dozen Injured in Aleppo Hospital Shelling
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, at least six people are dead - including a child and medical
workers - after Syrian forces shelled a hospital outside the
rebel-controlled city of Aleppo on Sunday. Sixteen civilians were also
wounded in the assault, four of them critically. The attack came despite
a ceasefire deal brokered by Russia and Turkey in March of 2020.
Physicians for Human Rights has documented nearly 600 attacks on
healthcare facilities by Syria's military and its allies since the start
of the civil war a decade ago.
