Russian airstrikes kill civilians and damage medical facilities
This was bound to happen ...
Quote:
[The New York-based Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) identified three strikes on Oct. 2 and 3, that occurred in the provinces of Hama, Idlib and Latakia. The strikes caused injuries, damages to the facilities and hampered desperately needed services, the group said.
?Bashar al-Assad?s forces have been relentlessly attacking Syria?s health care system for the past four years and the Russian government is now following in their footsteps,? Widney Brown, PHR?s director of programs, said in a press release. ?With these actions, Russia is damaging hospitals, putting patients and medical staff at risk, and depriving civilians of life-saving access to health care.? ...
... Russia last week rejected claims that its bombing campaign in Syria had led to civilian deaths, but the anti-Assad Syrian activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said last Friday that at least 30 civilians had been killed in the first two days of Russian air strikes.
