In Aleppo, it is “submit or die.”
Between Thursday and Saturday, the regime or its Russian ally bombed four hospitals, rebel-held Aleppo’s only blood bank and a forensic pathology lab, nearly all in the Al Sha’ar neighborhood, one of the biggest and poorest parts of east Aleppo.
The facilities, which included a children’s hospital and a maternity hospital, were not the biggest in the city, but served a population of some 75,000, said Dr. Muhammad al Mahmoud of the Union of Syrian Medical Relief Organizations (UOSSM). Some 12,000 people use the hospitals every month.
