Doctors Around the World announced the killing of 3 and the kidnapping of 2 medical personnel in the state of Al-Jazira, while condemning the targeting of medical personnel and the health sector, which works in extremely complex conditions in the state, which is permissible by the rebel Rapid Support militia.
Today, Doctors Around the World issued a statement obtained by Mandara News, the text of which follows:
About the killing of 3 and the kidnapping of 2 medical personnel in the state of Al-Jazira
Doctors around the world condemn the targeting and killing of doctors
Doctors Around the World, an independent medical organization, confirms through its medical staff, after complex field follow-ups, as a result of the interruption of communication networks within the state of Al-Jazeera and the difficulty of movement within the areas of the state of Al-Jazeera due to the continuation of military operations and the lack of fuel supplies, and in an incident that has nothing to do with humanity or the simplest ABCs, customs and ethics of humanitarian work. According to international humanitarian law, the Rapid Support Forces killed the doctor (A.A.) and another medical staff at the Medina Arab Rural Hospital after the failure of a surgery performed on one of their injured soldiers, and killed the doctor (M.S.) who works at Al-Hasahisa Hospital, in addition to kidnapping two medical staff. One of them is from the city of Rifa’a in the east of the island, and the other is from the village of Doha in the south of the island.
This represents a flagrant violation of humanitarian law, international law and international humanitarian law.
We affirm that we reject the targeting of doctors and health workers by the Rapid Support Forces in Al-Jazeera State.
We call on the Ministry of Health, medical work institutions, and local and international judicial and legal institutions to condemn this unacceptable act.
