Russia fighter jets hit al-Iman hospital in Idlib province

(Zaman Al Wasl)- Russia's fighter jets using vacuum missiles hit a hospital in northern Idlib province, causing huge destruction in the only medical center in Serja town, local activists said Tuesday.

5 medics have been wounded in the attack on al-Iman hospital east of Jabal al-Zawiya area, making it out of service.

The deliberate bombing on health facilities in rebel-held Syria has been regular target for Moscow who has been accused of committing war crimes in the war-torn country.

The Russian warplanes have also pounded towns of Khan Sheikhoun, Sareqb, al-Najiya nad Kafrradin.
 
In Aleppo city, The United Nations said on Tuesday that Russia's plan for a ceasefire will not mean any supplies get into besieged eastern Aleppo because Russia, Syria and other groups fighting in the city have not yet given guarantees of safety for aid workers.

Syria's regime would also need to overturn its decision last week to refuse to allow aid into the eastern part of the city, where the U.N. estimates 275,000 civilians and 8,000 rebel fighters are trapped.

Russia said on Monday that Russian and Syrian forces would pause their attacks on Aleppo for eight hours on Thursday to allow civilians and rebels to leave the city, and on Tuesday they halted all air strikes, two days ahead of time.

 The Russia-Syria bombing campaign has destroyed most health facilities in the besieged city, where 406 people were killed and 1,384 wounded between Sept. 23 and Oct 8., according to U.N. data based on reports from medical facilities.
