		</div><p>Syrian rebels and pro-government forces have clashed on several fronts around Aleppo as the country&#8217;s military command called on militants to evacuate the city.</p>
<p>The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group reported fighting in areas close to al-Shuqeef hill and the Bustan al-Basha area as the government tries to penetrate the city&#8217;s opposition-held eastern side.</p>
<p>The reports come a day after pro-government forces captured the al-Shuqeef hill.</p>
<p>The government&#8217;s offensive has been accompanied by a relentless Russian and government campaign of air strikes across eastern Aleppo.</p>
<p>President Bashar Assad&#8217;s forces are depending on Russian air strikes and Iran-backed militias to bolster their campaign.</p>
<p>A spokesman for the Nour el-Din el-Zinki rebel faction told The Associated Press that foreign fighters were actively participating in the government&#8217;s ground campaign for the city.</p>
<p>He said rebels could identify Lebanese and Iraqi militias by their flags.</p>
<p>An air strike, meanwhile, targeted a rebel headquarters near the central city of Hama on Sunday, killing at least six militants, the Observatory said.</p>
<p>The blow is a setback for the rebel campaign to advance on the government-controlled city.</p>
<p>The UN&#8217;s humanitarian chief Stephen O&#8217;Brien said on Sunday that east Aleppo&#8217;s health system has been &#8220;all but obliterated&#8221; by shelling and bombardment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Medical facilities are being hit one by one,&#8221; Mr O&#8217;Brien said in a statement that called for at least a weekly 48-hour humanitarian pause to the fighting.</p>
<p>The UN estimates 275,000 people are trapped in the east by a government siege.</p>

<p>&#8220;We are in a race against time to protect and save civilians in eastern Aleppo city. They need our urgent action to bring an end to their living hell,&#8221; Mr O&#8217;Brien said.</p>
<p>Air strikes put one of the city&#8217;s largest hospitals, located in the eastern Sakhour area, out of service on Saturday, doctors and activists reported.</p>
<p>The Syrian military command said in a statement carried on state news today that government forces would guarantee the gunmen safe passage out of the city&#8217;s opposition-held eastern areas.</p>
<p>Russia, which backs Mr Assad&#8217;s government, announced a month ago that the government would open safe passages for civilians to leave eastern Aleppo.</p>
<p>The United Nations says at least 320 civilians have been killed since the government announced an offensive on eastern Aleppo on September 22.</p>
