Responding to further reports of the continued bombing of civilian areas in Aleppo, including hospitals, Kate Osamor, Labour’s Shadow International Development Secretary, said: 

“With the innocent civilians of Aleppo living in a modern hell, and their situation getting more desperate by the day‎, we need an urgent and concerted effort by the international community to end the violence on all sides, institute a UN-led ceasefire, and create safe corridors so vital aid can be delivered.

“For their part, Boris Johnson and Priti Patel need to strain every diplomatic sinew to persuade their US, French and Russian counterparts to calm the rhetoric, and concentrate instead on re-establishing the planned ceasefire that gave the people of Aleppo hope of some much needed respite.”
