7. Russian Bombing of Hospitals (Syria, 2015-2020)
Hospitals and medical workers in Syria became deliberate targets during Russian and Syrian airstrikes, a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions’ protections for the wounded and those treating them. Repeated attacks destroyed vital infrastructure and left civilians without care. Despite well-documented evidence and international condemnation, meaningful action against these war crimes was minimal. This pattern of impunity has had devastating effects on Syria’s health system and on global norms.
