Canadian-funded Health Centre In Syria Destroyed, Says Aid Agency

The Canadian Press, 29 Apr, 2016 12:02 PM
    OTTAWA — An aid agency says a Canadian-funded hospital in Syria has been destroyed.
     
    The Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations says the Al Marjeh Primary Health Care Centre in Aleppo, which has received millions of dollars in medical supplies from Canada, was bombed during air strikes Friday.
     
    The group's website says the facility was hit strikes conducted by Syrian government and Russian aircraft.
     
    The organization says it was the second bombing of a civilian hospital in three days.
     
     
    Calling the attack a war crime, the non-profit agency is urging the international community to protect hospitals and aid workers targeted in the country's civil war.
     
    The organization says the Al Marjeh health care facility was opened in 2014 and has since performed over 46,000 consultations, with mostly women and children.
