The support of the committee to the Doctors of the World call to Syria

We, Doctors of the World, are calling for all parties to respect the rules of international law in times of war, including respecting medical care providers and their ethical obligation to provide care.

Health professionals are murdered and tortured; hospitals are inaccessible to the wounded who fear reprisals and there are constant barriers to receiving medical care in hospitals and in bombed and besieged areas. Secretly carrying medicines is now a crime. Today, violence toward civilians knows no bounds...

There are an estimated 70,000 dead, in addition to thousands of prison detainees, hundreds of thousands of displaced people or refugees, and how many wounded with no medical care?

Those are the first lines of the call for Syria launched by Doctors of the World  and presented bay its Director General, Pierre SALIGNON

A call to be supported by all NGOs attending the committee last June 26th, in Strasbourg
