"Madam President, this is not about one attack– Physicians for Human Rights has documented 358 separate attacks on medical facilities in Syria since 2011 alone. We have heard from colleagues about the recent attacks which have hit Médecins Sans Frontières’ health centres in Afghanistan and Yemen. The aid worker database says that 610 aid workers internationally lost their lives working for major international organisations in the last year, for those statistics are available. We have to do better. We have to do better as a European Union to strengthen the international legal protection. We have to do better with our Member States in order to avoid any complicity whatsoever in such attacks. And we have to condemn the terrorists and their armed groups that use human shields and deliberately ensure civilians are vulnerable to those attacks. There is something truly tragic that victims of violence go to hospitals as a refuge from war, to heal their bodies, and then find themselves subject to further violence and death. We condemned Isis when they attacked humanitarian workers. If we are better than them, then we have to ensure that we never do so."@en1
