Two more ambulances were also hit this week, resulting in the complete destruction of one ambulance, though no casualties were reported. Sixteen ambulances have been damaged or destroyed and three health facilities have also been fully evacuated due to the conflict. This high incident rate is of deep concern and humanitarians continue to call on the parties to abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law. Medical personnel trying to reach and assist casualties must be respected and protected in all circumstances, as must medical facilities and transportation. Authorities are facing difficulties extinguishing the fires due to the scope of the fires, coupled with high winds and hot weather conditions.
