A major hospital in northern Syria is at risk of closing from a lack of funding in the latest crisis for the impoverished and war-ravaged region.

Bab al-Hawa Hospital, one of the largest in the northwestern Idlib governorate, may be forced to shut down by the end of September unless it urgently receives funds, according to the hospital administration.

For over a decade, the hospital has been providing medical treatments to residents and the thousands living in displacement camps, wracked by years of conflict compounded by last year's multiple earthquakes.
