'The destruction of Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza will require more medical evacuations and ultimately cause more deaths if these are not carried out swiftly,' says World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. reuters.com/world/middle-e…

Al-Shifa hospital, the largest in Gaza, is now 'in ruins' after two weeks of Israeli attacks and is 'no longer able to function in any way, shape or form” as a medical center, says World Health Organization (WHO). That has “ripped the heart out of healthcare” in Gaza. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
Saying Healthcare is #NotATarget misses the point:
it IS a target.
Attacking healthcare is illegal, but as a military strategy, the logic is impeccable:
- amplifies the harm of war
- creates intolerable living conditions
- drives forced displacement
- facilitates ethnic cleansing

Aid workers and civilians are #NotATarget
