It is shocking!
However, supposedly 1/3 of these incidents occurred in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Well, did not terrorists abuse hospitals as weapon storage and command centers? A lot of reporting about the casualties etc. in the Gaza Strip is dubious!
"Health workers, hospitals, and clinics were attacked in 3,623 incidents in 2024, finds a new report from the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition—a record figure that reflects an increasing disregard for humanitarian law, ...
The attacks are up 15% from 2023 and 62% from 2022, including, bombings, looting, armed facility takeovers, and the detention of health workers.
By the numbers:
927 health care workers were killed, 473 were arrested, and 140 were kidnapped.
1,111 incidents led to damaged and destroyed health facilities.
The numbers are likely an undercount, the report states.
Hotspots: More than a third of the attacks (1,300+) occurred in Gaza and the West Bank, with hundreds more occurring in Ukraine, Lebanon, Burma (Myanmar), and Sudan.
Increased devastation: Explosive weapons accounted for 48% of incidents last year—an increase as drone strikes become more common, reports IPS."
