The United Nations mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) mentioned on Tuesday that it had confirmed at the least 76 civilian deaths in Afghanistan between Feb 26 and Monday, earlier than the clinic strike.
It known as for an “quick ceasefire”, as did UN rights chief Volker Turk.
Kheetan burdened that “underneath worldwide humanitarian regulation, civilians and civilian objects are strictly protected”.
“The legal guidelines of warfare clearly spell out that any assault should adjust to the elemental rules of distinction, proportionality and precautions,” he mentioned, highlighting that “worldwide humanitarian regulation supplies for particular and elevated protections for medical services”.
World Well being Group chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, in the meantime, mentioned on X that the upsurge in hostilities since late February had “resulted in at the least six well being services being impacted in Afghanistan”, along with the rehab clinic.
The UN well being company was “working to confirm these incidents”, he mentioned.
“I urge all events to de-escalate and prioritise peace and well being,” Tedros mentioned, insisting: “Peace is the very best drugs.”
