Terrified medical staff rushed to rescue nine newborns after heavy bombing near a children's hospital in Syria's divided Aleppo city, according to the leading pediatrician there, AFP reports.
In a statement published by The Syria Campaign advocacy group, Dr Hatem, the chief of the Al-Hakim children's hospital, described the aftermath of a raid that struck just outside the facility on Wednesday.
"It was a horrible moment. The nurses were trampling each other to rush the babies to the basement, while many of them started to cry," said Dr Hatem, whose full name was not disclosed.
