PARIS, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) -- French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault on Saturday denounced the bombing of a hospital in the Syrian city of Aleppo, calling it a "war crime".
Systematic shelling of healthcare structures and personnel in the besieged Syrian city is "particularly unspeakable, and "constituted war crimes," according to the French diplomat.
"Their perpetrators will be held to account," Ayrault said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Right reported earlier on Saturday aircrafts dropped barrel bombs which struck the largest hospital in the rebel-held part of Aleppo city in northern Syria.
Up to 500,000 were killed in the five-year civil war in Syria.
