Activists demand action on deaths of medics in war

BRITISH doctors and nurses will stand in solidarity with Syrian health workers today after Aleppo’s last paediatrician was killed by an air strike last week.

Physicians, human rights campaigners, charity workers and reporters will march to Trafalgar Square with Syrian activists in the first event of the Medics Under Fire group.

The campaign wants the British government to do more to protect medical practitioners in warzones around the globe.
