His comments follow the recent agreement by leaders in germany to work towards an end to the conflict.

They have seen and thoughts of thousands of people fleeing the premises by the russian backed syria army. 14 Health Facilities in syria have been hit since the start of the year alone. Hospitals and connect can no longer be considered places where patients can recover safely. President of Doctors Without Borders, in germany, good evening to you. What can you tell us about the situation at the hospital after the airstrikes . Good evening from berlin. The hospital has been completely destroyed. We heard from colleagues this morning that the hospice was attacked, and several ways of airstrikes attacked in several waves of airstrikes. Several patients and doctors are missing. Do you think the hospital was deliver the targeted . Deliberately targeted . It is always difficult to prove, but from everything we know, looking at the fact that it has been attacked in several waves, we have no other choice than believing it was a target. Who do you think is responsible for the attack . From all we know, the Syrian Government coalition is the one responsible for these attacks this morning on the hospital. This is not the first time that hospitals have been hit. Is this becoming a strategy, now, in the civil war . What do doctors think . Are they now valid targets . We have seen for quite some time that more more hospital facilities in syria have been attacked, bombarded, destroyed. Whether it is the strategy or not, it is hard to tell. Fisher, it is for sure, it is not the first time it has happened. This area, the bombing has led to the instruction of hospitals. The suffering has to end. The people who seek help have no part in the conflict itself. With access to people in the area have in terms of medical care. This hospital was one of the last Health Facilities in the area, and it served for around served around 40,000 people. It is not possible just to move to another place. You cannot just construct a new hospital. Mrs. Systematically this is systematically being bombed. How is this going to affect your operation in syria . Like in many other areas and syria, we were not able to direct health care. Directly provide health care because of the insecure situation. We have been using existing facilities with syru ian medical personnel. There are some other parts of the country where we still have opportunities there, to deliver drugs, some kind of support. The president of Doctors Without Borders germany. We appreciate your time. For it ministers in the European Union have been holding talks in brussels in an attempt to find Common Ground on the migration crisis. One of the major points being discussed is how to bolster greeces handling of the crisis. Five socalled hotspots for migrants shouldve opened late last year. The facilities are being built on islands between turkey and greece. They are supposed to register new arrivals and screen those who may be eligible for asylum. So far, only two are up and running. Those of the centers on keyless unless both. Centers on kios and lesbos. Many are trying to reach the islands, often with fatal consequences. Inscription on the gravestone says, unknown boy, three years old. She is buried next to an unknown infant. This is a graveyard for those who drowned trying to reach land. I cant help people get to your get to europe legally. The only thing left to do is buried him is bury them. Since the beginning of this year, over 75,000 people have landed on the shores. 1 3 of refugees are children seeking protection in the eu. I want life and peace. I dont need anything more. At a meeting of eu Foreign Ministers in brussels, germanys open border stance looked increasingly isolated. The foreign has pushed once again for a common european strategy. Germany is very interested in disturbing the bird more equally. We dont just want to look for the simplest solutions. The eu does agree that the blocks external borders need more protection. Lester, five Registration Centers called hotspots were slated for construction on the island. The idea was to use them as a way station. For the five centers are supposed to go to operation this week. The hotspots are not popular among locals. There was a major demonstration. Demonstrators hit the streets to protest the planned hotspots, even before it opened its doors. While the eu Foreign Ministers met in brussels, the leaders of or Central European nations met in prague with their own plan on how to tackle the migrant crisis. The czech rublic, slovakia, poland, have all been sharply critical of greece for allowing migrants to pass the territory unchecked. Now they are willing to tighten borders with or without the help of the eu. So, to different parts of the union are following to bridge agendas. Max hoffman has more. They want to close the western balkans. That means securing their borders and the macedoniangreek borders. Thats not so unlike what the other states want. The problem is these Eastern European states want to do it in an uncontrolled way. Greece isnt ready for that, as we know, they are just starting to establish hotspots. The key element of that, it of course, is to redistribute the refugees in a fair way. Thats why, for example, for minster foreign minister warned the states about not becoming a club of renegades. That was max hoffman, reporting from brussels. Migration is proving to be a divisive topic for europe and its leaders. She is looking increasingly isolated among brussels colleagues. The picture back home is no better, either. She has been forced to take a tougher stance. She is forced to take a very conservative policy as support in her party dwindles. For months, she relied on democrats to drum up support, but now policy members are distancing themselves from her when she makes policy statements like this. If we are able to halt illegal migration in the aegean sea, we can take and people in an organized manner with a system so that we can share the burden and the duties. But sharing the burden is a system that both her european counterparts and her own party believe in less and less. The cdu has changed its approach to migration. Hardly a week goes by without a new set of proposals to help germany reduce the number of refugees it takes in. They have been deporting more easily, halting family reification, and reducing benefits. This is the strictest change to the right of Asylum Seekers we have ever seen. Merkels eroding support is taking its toll on the social democrats. That has put the party leader on the offensive. We cant invite refugees to germany and then refuse them money. That is not honest policy, and the public needs to know were going to do this without accepting money from others. German voters will head to the polls in regional elections. This will be a crucial test for merkel. We will have more on that coming up today as well. Pope francis is on a five date tour of mexico. He is headed south, to the state of chiapas. This is one of the poorest areas in mexico and the center for indigenous culture.
