Doctors Without Borders has suspended its activities in the besieged Damascus suburbs of East Ghouta after militants stormed its hospital looking for wounded enemies amid intense clashes between rival Syrian rebel groups.
According to reports from MSF-supported doctors in the area, about 30 masked and armed men stormed the Hazzeh Hospital in the East Ghouta region on 29 April, looking for specific wounded patients. They also stole the hospital’s ambulance.
