An air strike has hit a children’s hospital in Syria’s eastern Aleppo, forcing its medical staff to evacuate their patients, including several newborn babies still in incubators.

The moment of the attack on Nov. 18 was captured by an Al Jazeera crew, including journalist Amr al-Halabi, who was reporting about survivors of previous Syrian government and Russian air strikes in the rebel-held areas of the city.
