The United States has demanded that Russia restrain the Syrian regime to stop its attacks against civilians and medical facilities.
"We are outraged by yesterday's air strikes in Aleppo on the al-Quds hospital supported by both Doctors Without Borders and the International Committee of the Red Cross, which killed dozens of people, including children, patients, and medical personnel," he said.
"While we are still trying to gather the facts surrounding the circumstances of this attack, it appears to have been a deliberate strike on a known medical facility and follows the Syrian regime's appalling record of striking such facilities and first responders," Kerry added.
The secretary of state said Moscow needed to support peace efforts in Syria, noting, "Russia has an urgent responsibility to press the regime to fulfill its commitments under UNSC R2254, including in particular to stop attacking civilians, medical facilities, and first responders, and to abide fully by the cessation of hostilities."
