At least two barrel bombs have hit the largest hospital in the rebel-held eastern side of Syria's Aleppo city, according to the medical organisation that supports it.

The facility, known as M10, had already been hit by heavy bombardment on Wednesday along with the second-largest hospital in the area in what Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, denounced as "war crimes".

Referring to Saturday's attack, Adham Sahloul of the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) said: "Two barrel bombs hit the M10 hospital and there were reports of a cluster bomb as well."

Al Jazeera's Charles Stratford, reporting from Gaziantep on the Turkish side of the Turkish-Syrian border, said only half of the M10 hospital was operational before Saturday as a result of previous attacks.
