Two people were killed when a bomb struck the entrance of the hospital, in the northwestern city of Idlib, the organization said.

A woman who was six months pregnant had her leg severed and two other women suffered shrapnel wounds to their stomachs, it said.

Babies and a number of patients and staff were injured.

"Bombing a maternity hospital which is helping women living under the shadow of war to give birth safely is a shameful act, whether it was done intentionally or because due care was not taken to avoid civilian areas," Save the Children's Syria Director Sonia Khush said.
