Hospitals in the Syrian city of Aleppo have been overwhelmed after a wave of air strikes killed more than 100 people and left many more injured in recent days, Medecins Sans Frontieres says.

Indiscriminate and sustained attacks by government aircraft had caused
significant damage in areas populated by civilians, the organisation
warned.
Bodies are being lined up in front of hospitals for collection by relatives.
On Tuesday, warplanes stepped up their air strikes on rebel-held districts.
Eighteen people, including two children, were killed in the
Shaar and Maadi areas, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights, a UK-based activist group.
