On Friday, the Canadian-supported clinic Al Marjeh Primary Health Care Centre was also hit in an air strike, according to a statement the organization’s Facebook page.
The strikes on both healthcare facilities have been blamed on the Syrian regime or Russia, which continues to back Syrian government forces and President Bashar al-Assad.
