Cairo: The Arab League condemned Friday the bombing that targeted Al Quds hospital in Syrian city Aleppo and led to the murder and injury of dozens of people. 
Arab League Secretary-General Dr. Nabil el Araby said in a statement that the people responsible for the crime must be punished. He stressed on the need for more effort to sustain a ceasefire and allow the delivery of humanitarian aid into areas suffering from armed struggle. 
Al Araby renewed the Arab League's call for pursuing a political resolution to the crisis, saying it was the only option to stop the destruction of Syria and carry out a political transition in light of the Geneva communique.
