What does International Humanitarian Law say about the protection of hospitals in armed conflict?

Under international humanitarian law (IHL) the wounded and sick must be respected, protected and cared for. Healthcare workers, medical equipment and medical supplies must be able to reach them and treat them safely.
Our Chief Legal Officer Cordula Droege explains more the protection of hospitals under International Humanitarian Law in this video.

As shifa Hospital Gaza

[@mohamedtouhami3924]

The people of Gaza need your intervention to organize the entry of aid because the occupation refuses to bring aid in

[@TM-100]

They lose their hospital status once transformed into a military center 😢. Too bad for any innocent people trying to actually get medical aid

They aren’t protected. Stop lying
