Health services are no longer functioning in the Syrian city of Idlib after a series of airstrikes on key hospitals damaged intensive care units and specialised services, doctors said.

At least two intensive care patients have died because of power and oxygen shortages caused by the airstrikes, according to the rescue group White Helmets, and hospitals have had to evacuate patients or move them into basements.

The healthcare services struck in the past few days include the Ibn Sina children’s hospital and the Maternity Children’s hospital run by medical charity Syrian American Medical Society (Sams). The White Helmets said Idlib University hospital, the National hospital and the health directorate were also hit.

Regime attacks on the city have intensified in the past week since rebels launched a surprise offensive that has allowed them to capture the entire Idlib province and the key city of Aleppo.
