Report: More than 600 medical staff killed in Syrian war
An international rights group says more than 600 medical workers have been killed in Syria's civil war in deliberate and indiscriminate attacks, most of them by government forces.

Physicians for Human Rights says it has documented 233 attacks on 183 medical facilities across Syria since the country's conflict began in March 2011.

The group says in a report released Wednesday that President Bashar Assad's government is responsible for 88 percent of the recorded attacks on hospitals and 97 percent of the killings of medical workers. Physicians for Human Rights says it documented 139 deaths directly attributable to torture and execution.

The group's director of investigations Erin Gallagher says "every doctor killed or hospital destroyed leaves hundreds or even thousands of Syrians with nowhere to turn for health care."
