(Physicians for Human Rights) – On the anniversary of a UN Security Council resolution condemning attacks on health care in conflict, Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) and Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict said today the all-out assault on health care is continuing unabated in conflicts around the world. Both organizations said the problem is acute in Syria and Yemen, where hospitals, doctors, nurses, and clinics are regularly and systematically targeted and medical aid is routinely blocked, both actions being flagrant violations of international law and obvious breaches of Security Council Resolution 2286, which passed one year ago.
