Global Outrage: MSF Hospital Bombed in Syria as War Ratchets Up

FEATURING JAMES PAUL – The war-torn Arab nation of Syria was plunged back into violence full force in recent days after the government of Bashar Al-Assad broke a partial truce. Among the targets of destruction was a hospital in Aleppo run by the Nobel Peace Prize winning organization Doctors Without Borders. More than 2-dozen people were killed in the hospital including children and hospital staff, and also apparently Aleppo’s last remaining pediatrician.

The five-year long war has devastated Syria and eluded attempts at peace. What does this new offensive by the government mean?
