No hospitals, no hope

What do you do when your beloved person is badly hurt? You call for help, or take them directly to the hospital.


But what if there was no emergency number, nor hospitals?


In conflict zones and humanitarian crises, the effect of just one violent incident against medical personnel or facilities may impact hundreds, or even thousands of vulnerable people.

International Humanitarian Law (IHL) aims at protecting civilians living in places affected by conflict, making sure they can receive the emergency medical assistance they need.

No hospitals. No hope. Health workers and hospitals are #NotATarget
