Syria conflict: Aleppo strikes 'overwhelm' hospitals
Hospitals in the Syrian city of Aleppo have been overwhelmed with casualties after a wave of air strikes which killed more than 100 people in recent days, Medecins Sans Frontieres says.

Bodies are being lined up in front of hospitals for collection by relatives.
