Lasting wounds to the birthplace of gauze

Hindustan Times  

Israel’s assault on Gaza is a story of unprecedented brutalities — but the attacks on hospitals are a new low for the Israel Defence Forces claiming to avenge the Hamas attack of October 7. Water tanks and solar panels of the Rantisi Specialist Hospital for Children in Gaza were attacked three times in the last month, which emphasises the point that a hospital in a conflict zone can be rendered useless without actually bombing it to rubble. According to an October 2023 report by Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition, a group of international non-governmental organisations working to protect health workers, services, and infrastructure across the world, there were nearly 2,000 incidents of violence against health care facilities last year, a 45% increase from the year before. By bombing hospitals and killing hospital personnel, countries send a message to international bodies like the UN and the World Health Organization about their lack of interest in dialogue, jurisdiction and respect for peace.
