RantCrush Top 5: November 21, 2016

Aleppo keeps getting hit by airstrikes, now for the seventh day in a row. Yesterday, WHO said that the last hospitals had been bombed, which means that 250,000 people in the city are stranded without access to major surgeries or trauma care. Some minor health services are still available and doctors have been trying to save what equipment they can from hospitals that have already been attacked. “This is the heaviest bombardment I have seen in the past five years,” said Ismail Abdallah from the Syrian Civil Defense.

Among the latest attacks was a chemical one that killed four children and their parents. According to the U.N. there are no more food rations and aid has not been sent to Aleppo since July.
