The last doctor left in besieged Syrian town is murdered by sniper

The only remaining doctor in the besieged Syrian town of Zabadani has been killed by sniper fire, days before the UN said it would begin a major medical evacuation from areas under siege. The doctor and a member of a rescue team were shot last week after treating a patient, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said. A doctor in the neighbouring town of Madaya named the man as Mohammed al-Kos, a surgeon in his 70s.
