Alun McDonald, Save the Children regional media manager, said in a separate statement: “There are initial reports of some casualties among patients and staff, although numbers are so far unconfirmed”.

It also reported that IS had executed 24 civilians after seizing a village in northern Syria.
Aid agencies say civilians have been unable to leave through the safe corridors because of fighting, and that the situation inside the besieged city is becoming increasingly perilous.
Russian Federation has said 169 civilians have been able to leave the opposition-held east of Syria’s Aleppo city through a passage in the Salaheddin neighbourhood that they’re calling a “humanitarian corridor”.
The report also said some fighters had handed over their weapons and surrendered to the authorities.
He also said that six temporary shelters had been set up to accommodate at least 3000 people.
An AFP correspondent in east Aleppo said streets were empty on Friday morning, with residents holed up indoors. The bombings came a week after airstrikes, also blamed by Syrian activists on USA aircraft, killed at least 56 civilians in ISIS-held territory in northern Syria.
Still, the creation of humanitarian corridors by Russian Federation and Syria has been met with skepticism.
“The regime claimed today that they opened the crossings towards Salaheddin, and this is all hearsay and lies”, said Iyat Abu Mohamed, a commander with the Nureddin al-Zinki rebel group.
United Nations envoy Staffan de Mistura said on Friday that the United Nations supported the humanitarian corridors in principle but it wanted Russian Federation to provide more details on how they would work.
“We left with whichever of our children remained”, said one woman.
Syria’s five-year war has killed more than 280,000 people and displaced millions.
An estimated 320,000 people are trapped in Aleppo’s rebel-held districts, without access to food or medical supplies amid intensifying air strikes.
Yesterday, the Syrian military command announced that it had completed the encirclement of the rebel-held portion of Aleppo, the largest city in Syria and once its commercial capital, by completely cutting the Castello Road, the last route into that part of the city for the armed opposition groups.
Entrances to the corridors were effectively shut in rebel areas inside the city on Friday, the Observatory said. “We left under the protection of the army”.
“If the corridors could be used to allow aid into Aleppo, then that would be welcome”, he said.
Mr Shoigu said that President Vladimir Putin had approved a “large-scale humanitarian operation” that would be launched outside Aleppo to “help civilians taken hostage by terrorists as well as fighters who wanted to lay down their arms”.
“The regime wants to say that civilians have left in order to burn Aleppo”.
“The regime uses massive, indiscriminate force to brutalise civilians to force them to kneel or reject the rebel groups”, he added.

“It has the risk, if it is a ruse, of completely breaking apart the level of cooperation”, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in response to a reporter’s question as he began a meeting with the United Arab Emirates’ foreign minister.
