Today is #WorldHumanitarianDay. 🚫 Health care is NOT a target 🏥. Yet, it is under threat like never before. Parties to armed conflict are obliged, under international humanitarian law, to protect health workers and facilities, as well as the wounded and sick. Violence against medical facilities, supplies, transports and personnel working tirelessly to attend to patients has devastating long-term impacts in war zones, robbing the wounded and sick of vital care and treatment. Those in power, #ActForHumanity.
