We provide care where it is needed most. Independent. Neutral. Impartial. Bearing witness: We are not sure that words can always save lives but we know that silence can certainly kill. We will not remain silent.

International Humanitarian Law is explicitly clear that hospitals and medical personnel must be protected. Attacks on hospitals are attacks on humanity.
