At least 14 patients and three doctors have been killed in an air strike on a hospital in the Syrian city of Aleppo, the charity Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF) says. Among those killed in the MSF-supported al-Quds hospital was one of the city's last paediatricians, MSF said.
Local sources blamed Syrian or Russian war planes. The Syrian military has denied targeting the hospital. Monitors say attacks by both sides left 34 dead and dozens wounded on Thursday.
Violence in Syria, and particularly in Aleppo, has intensified in recent days, despite a partial truce. The International Committee of the Red Cross says Aleppo is on the brink of a humanitarian disaster.
The upsurge in violence comes amid reports that the Syrian army, backed by Russian air power, is gearing up for a major offensive on the city.

I was hoping to hear Greenwald, Snowden, Assange and the rest of the dudebro clique call for a full, independent investigation for this tragedy, and have the guilty parties referred to a war crimes tribunal, but they have been silent on this for reasons unknown... (Like the fucking hypocrites they are)
