Airstrikes hit 2 Hospitals, 1 School in Northern Syria

Airstrikes targeting rebel-controlled towns in northern Syria have killed at least 23 civilians, local residents said, according to Reuters.

The missiles, which are believed to be a part of the government's advancement into the city of Aleppo, reportedly hit a Women and Children's hospital and a school that was being used as a shelter for families in Azaz, which is near the Turkish border. CNN reported that 15 people were killed here with about 40 people being injured.

"We have been moving scores of screaming children from the hospital," said medic Juma Rahal to Reuters.

It is unclear who was responsible for the attacks but many are pointing fingers at Russia, who has backed the Syrian government throughout the civil war. Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also blamed Russia for the attacks in Azaz while speaking in Kiev. Russia has not responded to these allegations.

In another attack, airstrikes hit a hospital that was supported by the Doctors Without Borders/Médecine Sans Frontières (MSF) charity, a total of four times. The hospital was located in Marat Numan in the Idlib province.

"There were at least seven deaths among the personnel and the patients, and at least eight MSF personnel have disappeared, and we don't know if they are alive," the French president of the charity, Dr. Mego Terzian, said.

The people who died included five patients, a caregiver and a guard. The eight who are missing are all staff members.

"The author of the strike is clearly...ether the government or Russia." Dr. Terzian said.

Russia, who supports President Basar al-Assad, has been supplying the countries with a lot of airstrikes.

"This appears to be a deliberate attack on a health structure, and we condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms," said Massimiliano Rebaudengo, Doctors Without Borders' head of mission reported by CNN. "The destruction of the hospital leaves the local population of around 40,000 people without access to medical services in an active zone of conflict."

Pro-government forces did not respond to claims that they were responsible for the attacks in the Idlib province.
