Never before have we seen so many attacks on health facilities as in Ukraine: WHO
23:25
World Health Organization Crisis Director Dr. Michael Ryan said Wednesday that the WHO has never seen so many attacks on health facilities as it has seen since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
"The healthcare system has become an end in itself," he added.
Attacking hospitals and health centers become an element of strategy and war tactics.
"This is totally unacceptable, and it is also against international humanitarian law," Ryan announced.
On Monday, WHO reported that there were 31 verified attacks on medical facilities in Ukraine from the beginning of the Russian invasion to Saturday.
