Newsday: Russia

Assalamu Alaikum,

I am Maham Ismail, an enthusiast about politics. Every Monday, I will be choosing a country to talk about recent news that occured threre. AT MDQ MSA, we believe that us young Muslim Americans living in the West should be aware of everything that goes on around the world.

Today, I chose Russia. What saddeneed me the most reading this post was the fact that innocent lives who didnt know that death awaited them died. They could have been people like us. They could have been youth like us with hopes and dreams.

"Russian airstrikes destroy Doctors Without Borders-backed hospital in Syria, activists say

Russian warplanes are being blamed for carrying out what is being called a "deliberate attack" on two makeshift hospitals and a school in northern Syria Monday that killed nearly 50 people, according to the United Nations.

Doctors Without Borders -- also known by its French acronym MSF -- said in a statement that the hospital in the town of Maaret al-Numan was hit four times in at least two attacks that were minutes apart.

"This appears to be a deliberate attack on a health structure, and we condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms," said Massimiliano Rebaudengo, MSF's mission chief. "The destruction of the hospital leavesthe local population of around 40,000 people without access to medical services in an active zone of conflict." "

Let us know in the comments or leave us a message on our Facebook page, telling us what country we should do next time.
