Airstrikes by Syrian warplanes target hospitals - at least 61 dead

There was a series of night airstrikes by Syrian warplanes in the city of Aleppo and one of these had targeted a hospital. It killed at least 27 people and the dead included children and six hospital staff, including a dentist and one of Syria's last pediatricians. There are doubts that Russian jets may have participated in the attacks.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 28 April 2016.

It is understood that some of the overnight strikes had struck the well-known al-Quds field hospital in the Sukkari district in Aleppo. This information is from Doctors Without Borders, opposition activists and rescue workers anbd they have indicated that 14 doctors and patients had died in the strikes.
In a separate blitz in Aleppo, 20 deaths are reported and, with this, the 24-hour death toll in the key city stood at 61 and the toll could rise.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has cautioned that Aleppo was on the brink of a humanitarian disaster as a result of the renewed fighting. Stocks of contingency food and medical aid could run out soon and an escalation in fighting would mean that they cannot be replenished.
