A hospital comes under attack in Syria.

Chaos in a hospital in Syria.

Amateur video which could not be independently verified by Reuters appears to show the immediate aftermath of an attack by government forces on a Syrian hospital in Deraa.

Most of the electricity has been cut off. Smoke fills the hallways.

A young child appears to have been severely injured in the shelling. Medical personnel struggle to find a way to help.

Hospital staff move through darkened corridors. There are blood stains on the floors.

The Syrian uprising began in Deraa some 17 months ago. Activists say at least 18,000 people have died since then. Thousands more have been wounded.
