One of the biggest maternity hospitals in a rebel-held area of Syria has been bombed, leaving an unknown number of casualties.
\nSave the Children, which supports the hospital in Idlib, said its entrance was struck on Friday afternoon.
\nPhotos showed part of the building completely destroyed, leaving piles of rubble in the street and treatment rooms strewn with debris.
\nThe hospital is the largest in the immediate area and delivers more than 700 babies every month.
\nThere was no immediate confirmation of who carried out the strike but Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime forces or Russian allies were suspected.
\nIdlib city lies in a province sharing the same name that is almost completely under rebel control, including a strong presence of al-Qaeda\u2019s Jabhat al-Nura group.
\nIt claimed it had split from Osama bin-Laden\u2019s terror organisation on Thursday and re-named itself as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (Front for the Conquest of the Levant) in a suspected attempt to garner greater support from moderate rebel groups and international backers.<\/p>\n
