*** including 14 from same family
Fourteen members of the same family -- including two infants
and eight other children -- were killed on Monday, according to the activist
group Aleppo Media Center, CNN report.
More than 30 people were killed in airstrikes that hit the
Al-Qaterji neighborhood Sunday night, both the AMC and the UK-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said.
Monday morning another round of airstrikes killed 14 more
people in the al-Marjah neighborhood, all from one family, according to the
AMC.
Among them, a pair of six-week-old infants and an eight year
old, AMC said.
The death toll continued to climb as Russians helped bolster
the Syrian army's air attack, after Moscow vetoed a United Nations Security
Council resolution Saturday to halt the action in Aleppo and allow access for
humanitarian aid.
As the strikes have continued, Western powers accused Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad and his supporters of war crimes.
Both the US and UK have mulled potential economic sanctions
against Syria and Russia due to the Aleppo crisis.
