Aerial bombing has destroyed a hospital in a rebel-held neighbourhood, killing at least 27 and the city’s last pediatrician. In government-held areas, rebel mortar shelling has killed at least 14 people. “There is no neighborhood of the city that hasn’t been hit. People are living on the edge. Everyone here fears for their lives and nobody knows what is coming next,” says Valter Gros, head of Aleppo's Red Cross office.
