Syrian activists say several civilians have been killed in renewed airstrikes on opposition areas in the contested city of Aleppo.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says at least 23 people have been killed in presumed government or Russian airstrikes on various neighborhoods in rebel-held eastern Aleppo on Sunday.
Ibrahim Alhaj of the Syrian Civil Defense search and rescue operation says the group has documented the deaths of 43 people so far.
Hospitals in the city are reporting that they are overwhelmed with casualties.
Mohammad Zein Khandaqani, a member of the Medical Council, which oversees medical affairs in the opposition areas, says he expects many of the most badly wounded will die from insufficient treatment and facilities.
“I’ve never seen so many people dying in once place,” he says from a hospital in the city.
