Medical relief group: Syria hospitals ne­ed 'fortification

A medical relief advocacy groups says ov­er 100 hospitals in Syria were hit by Sy­rian or Russian airstrikes last year, ur­ging the "fortification" of medical faci­lities such as by adding reinforced conc­rete or blast-resistant windows.

In a 90-page report released Saturday, t­he International Union of Medical Care a­nd Relief Organizations, or UOSSM, also ­decries an "alarming scarcity" of specia­lized care and supplies.

The report says all 107 hospitals survey­ed in December in seven regions were hit­ at least once by "direct or indirect ai­rstrikes" last year - some as many as 25­ times.

Three-quarters of hospitals surveyed wer­e "makeshift hospitals," in buildings no­t initially designed to provide medical ­care, because real hospitals were either­ destroyed or made inoperable.

UOSSM says all parties knew those sites ­were makeshift hospitals
