Security camera footage has emerged of the last moments of Syrian paediatrician Muhammad Maaz's last moments before an airstrike killed him and at least 49 other people, including six medical staff.
The video shows Dr Maaz walking through the corridor as he begins his evening shift at 9.38pm at the Medecins Sans Frontieres-supported Al Quds paediatric hospital.
The 36-year-old doctor, who was the last remaining paediatrician in the besieged city of Aleppo, had already worked a day shift at another hospital, is shown walking through corridors wearing green scrubs.
At 9.42pm, all of a sudden a white flash fills the screen and the air fills with dust.

These are the last images of Dr Maaz, who had stayed in Syria when his parents fled to Turkey to tend to injured and sick Syrian children.
He was single and had been due to visit his parents in Turkey for the first time in four months.
"Dr Maaz stayed in Aleppo, the most dangerous city in the world, because of his devotion to his parents," Aleppo Childrens' Hospital director Dr Hatem told Channel 4 news.
"We remember Dr Maaz's humanity and his bravery."
Another friend was quoted as saying Dr Maaz stayed in Aleppo because he wanted to help "those babies crying".
MSF has strongly condemned the attack on the Al Quds hospital and on other medical facilities in Aleppo.
