Aid officials urge tougher stance to end targeting of hospitals - SWI swissinfo.ch: “Initially, I thought it was perhaps a mistake. When we indicated where the hospitals were located they were targeted 2-4 times. We thought about putting a UN flag on them but we were begged not to as people said they would be even easier to be targeted. In some hospitals, the warring parties had lots of weapons stored underground,” Staffan de Mistura, the special United Nations envoy for Syria, told a gathering of humanitarian officials and diplomats in Geneva on Monday.
“To a certain degree, everyone [involved in the Syrian conflict] has decided to use hospitals as an instrument of war.”
