“Médecins Sans Frontières believes giving GPS coordinates of its facilities to Assad and Russian forces increases chance of direct targeting”

“Fourteen attacks against hospitals have already taken place since the beginning of this year [the article is from February], contradicting claims by Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian prime minister, that Russian forces are not targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure as part of its campaign to support the Assad government. “

“MSF said on Thursday that a total of 94 airstrikes and shelling attacks hit facilities supported by the organisation in 2015 alone, in 12 cases leading to the total destruction of the facility. Some hospitals also suffered from “double tap” attacks, where a second airstrike targets paramedics and EMTs who arrive at the scene to rescue the wounded, between 20-60 minutes after the first bombing.”

The US military is particularly notorious for making the “double tap” war crime/atrocity into standard practice.

I said Afghanistan and Yemen

How many hospitals destroyed there

If MSF wasn’t being used or letting itself be used as HQ for terror ops maybe they wouldn’t be targeted
