Syria: Death Toll from Gov’t Air Strike in Azaz Reaches At Least 20 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The death toll from a Syrian government air strike on the northern town
of Azaz has reached at least 20 people in addition to around 100
wounded. The victims were gathered in a public market when Syrian
warplanes bombed them from the sky Sunday. The group Doctors Without
Borders says the attacks followed earlier bombings of local health
facilities, making it nearly impossible to adequately treat the victims.
On Monday, 151 people, including 21 children, were killed across Syria,
according to the opposition group Local Coordination Committees of
Syria.
