At least 19 people have been reported killed in Northern Syria after new air strikes hit two hospital buildings, Monday morning.

MSF, run by Doctors Without Borders, have condemned the attack which it says leaves about 40,000 people without access to medical services.
“This appears to be a deliberate attack on a health structure, and we condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms,” said Massimiliano Rebaudengo, MSF’s Head of Mission.
The strikes come days after Russia and other world powers agreed to a limited cessation of hostilities in Syria, BBC reports.
Almost five years of civil war in Syria have led to the deaths of more than 250,000 people. More than 11 million people have been displaced..
