Air strikes hit hospital in Syria’s Hama last week – MSF | Reuters

BEIRUT Air strikes struck a hospital in western Syria last week, killing two people, and there is evidence chemical weapons were used, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said on Friday. A Syrian military source said this week allegations that government forces were using chemical weapons were "devoid of truth".MSF said a bomb dropped from a helicopter hit the entrance of a hospital supported by the medical aid group in the rebel-held town of Latamneh in Hama province on Saturday. "Information collected by the hospital medical staff suggests that chemical weapons were used," it said in a statement."Immediately after the impact, patients and staff reported suffering severe respiratory symptoms and burning of mucous membranes – symptoms consistent with an attack using chemicals." The health authority of opposition-held parts of Hama blamed the attack on Syrian government warplanes.
