Aleppo: An air strike hit a clinic in a rebel-held district of Aleppo yesterday, the civil defence said, the second time this week a medical facility in Syria's second city has been hit. The strike on the Al-Marja neighbourhood wounded several people, including at least one nurse, the civil defence, known as the White Helmets, said. The clinic had been providing dental services and treatment for chronic illnesses for about five years.
