It is a basic tenet of civilised societies that medics should be allowed to care for the sick and wounded in wartime as well as in peace. Attacking medical facilities, transport and personnel intentionally is outlawed. In May, the security council adopted a resolution to strengthen protection for healthcare workers, the sick and wounded, and hospitals and clinics in war zones. In South Sudan, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Libya and many more places, healthcare workers are suffering. But it is significant that MSF continues to share the coordinates of its facilities in Afghanistan and Yemen, to protect them.
