The death toll from an upsurge of fighting in Syria's second city Aleppo rose on Thursday despite a plea by the UN envoy for the warring sides to respect a February ceasefire.
Rescue volunteers in a rebel-held neighborhood recovered another 10 bodies from the rubble, taking the death toll from overnight air strikes by the regime to 30, the civil defence said.
In government-held areas, rebel fire killed four people early on Thursday, state news agency SANA reported.
One of the regime strikes on the rebel-held Sukkari neighborhood hit a hospital, killing the only paediatrician still working in opposition areas of the city, civil defence said. Another strike hit a block of flats close to the Al-Quds hospital.
At least 20 of the dead were civilians.
