The Syrian news website Enab Baladi reported that one person had been killed and several injured in the hospital airstrike and at least five more people had been killed in further airstrikes around the city of Maaret al Numan.
The UN has recorded at least 25 attacks on hospitals and 45 attacks on schools in Idlib province since the beginning of the assault on the rebel-held area in April 2019.
In a joint statement on Wednesday local organisations in Idlib, including the Syrian Civil Defence, the Education Directorate, the Idlib Health Directorate and the Association of Syndicates and Professional Unions called on the UN to intervene “before an unprecedented human catastrophe occurs”, adding that “if the situation continues millions of people will be displaced, killed, or wounded”.
At least 800 people, including 200 children have been killed since the regime offensive against Idlib began, according to the UK charity Save the Children.
More than 450,000 people have been displaced since the beginning of the offensive, with many forced to take shelter in woods and olive groves due to overpopulated refugee camps.
