WHO records 914 healthcare attacks this year
The World Health Organization report shows that since the beginning of the year, there have been 914 attacks on healthcare worldwide, resulting in 911 deaths and 1,486 injuries. Most of these attacks occurred in Ukraine, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, and Myanmar. Since the implementation of the monitoring system in December 2017, over 10,400 attacks have been documented across 29 countries, leading to more than 5,700 fatalities and 8,500 injuries. Attacks on healthcare facilities remain unacceptably high, even ten years after the UN Security Council Resolution 2286 was adopted, which condemns such assaults and emphasizes the importance of respecting healthcare workers and safeguarding facilities and medical supplies under international humanitarian law. The organization calls on all parties involved in conflicts to commit to protecting healthcare workers and ensuring access to medical services, with a focus on saving lives and supporting the resilience of health systems.
