Monitoring Violence against Health Care
Because of the attacks, many Syrian Health Care Facilities are either completely out of service or only partially functioning. In 2023, health resources across Syria were impacted by attacks on health care 23 times, with more than 5 deaths and 20 Injuries affecting patients and Health personnel. Health Cluster and WHO continue to gather and share information and are strongly advocating for change. Such attacks not only affect health care providers but also deprive people of urgently needed care. The attacks violate human rights and the right to health.
The latest report on attacks can be accessed here.
