Any amount appreciated. Times are harsh in Gaza.

@Stinson_108 also, to be fair, "israel" has a long history of bombing hospitals.

@Stinson_108 empire wasn't concerned when Obama bombed a hospital either. It's still a war crime.

There are specific circumstances under which a hospital might lose its protected status:

If a hospital is used to commit "acts harmful to the enemy" outside its humanitarian duties, it may lose protection. This definition is however stricter than it appears.

Protection can only cease after due warning has been given, with a reasonable time limit, and after such warning has remained unheeded.

Under IHL hospitals and other medical facilities are granted special protection during armed conflicts. This protection is crucial to ensure that the wounded and sick can receive the care they need, even in - especially in - times of war.

Key Points of Protection:

🟢 Hospitals must be respected and protected at all times

🟢 They cannot be the object of attack

🟢 Parties to the conflict must ensure their safety and continued operation

USrael has just bombed a hospital in #Iran, so let's talk about it.

Hospitals are protected under IHL. Intentionally targeting them is a war crime. The fact that it's never enforced when empire does it does not change the fact.
