Doctors Without Borders Blasts U.N. Security Council over Hospital Attacks

HeadlineMay 04, 2016

The U.N. Security Council has unanimously passed a resolution reminding states they must protect medical and aid workers. But Joanne Liu, president of Doctors Without Borders, noted four of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council have been tied to attacks on hospitals, including the United States for its destruction of a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. Liu said the attacks must stop.

Joanne Liu: “Four of the five permanent members of this council have, to varying degrees, been associated with the coalition responsible for attacks on health structures over the last year. These include the NATO-led coalition in Afghanistan, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, the Russia-backed, Syrian-led coalition.”
