In a blistering speech at the United Nations, John Kerry said the future of Syria was "hanging by a thread".
He said Monday"s attack, which killed 20 civilians, had raised profound doubt over whether Russia and the Syrian government would live up to terms of the ceasefire deal.
Moscow has denied being involved.

- Press blame game over Syria truce breakdown
- Children suffer horrors of Syria"s war
- What"s left after five years of war?
Mr Kerry said flights should stop "in order to de-escalate the situation and give a chance for humanitarian assistance to flow unimpeded".
The attack had "dealt a heavy blow to our efforts to bring peace to Syria," he said.
The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has called for a thorough and impartial investigation into the attack.
A further attack on Tuesday night killed five medical workers for an international aid agency.
A partial truce brokered by the US and Russia lasted just a week.
Syria"s five-year civil war has left more than 250,000 people dead and displaced more than 11 million others.
