Four medical workers have been killed and a nurse critically injured in an airstrike that hit a clinic in a village near the Syrian city of Aleppo, the aid group that supports the clinic said.

The four staff of the Union of Syrian Medical Relief Organisations (UOSSM) were in two ambulances that had been called to the clinic to take some patients for more specialised treatment, the group said.

The clinic in the village of Khan T ouman was completely levelled in the strike and more dead were feared to be buried under the rubble, the group added.
