Rebel fire on an aid distribution centre in Syria's Aleppo city has killed three people, including a Red Crescent volunteer and a child, a monitor said Thursday.

The Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross confirmed the volunteer's death in Wednesday's incident.

"One SARC staff member was killed. Seven SARC volunteers and staff were injured, three of them severely," a statement said.

"Two beneficiaries who had come to the centre to receive humanitarian aid also died, and several others were injured."

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor identified those two killed as a woman and a child.
