(Physicians for Human Rights) – As fighting in Syria’s Hama governorate has intensified over the past week, Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) reported today that at least two Hama medical facilities have come under attack in the past seven days. The two facilities – a hospital in Latamneh and a medical point in Kafar Naboudah – together serve tens of thousands of people in a region of Syria that has come under increasing bombardment as opposition forces mount a major offensive in Hama governorate. Both attacks violate international law, in that they are either intentional attacks on medical facilities or indiscriminate attacks on civilian-populated areas.
