(The World Post) – Almost every hospital in opposition-held areas of northern and southern Syria were attacked at least once last year, and some medical facilities were hit as many as 25 times, according to a report released Sunday. The Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM), an independent humanitarian organization, in December surveyed 107 of the 130 hospitals and medical facilities documented in Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia, Hama, Daraa, Quneitra and Homs. The organization found that all 107 had been hit at least once with a direct or indirect strike. The average facility had been attacked three times.
