Executive Summary
SNHR’s high standards for documentation are based on collecting direct testimonies from survivors or victims’ families in addition to analyzing and verifying photos, video footages, and some medical records. However, we can’t claim that we’ve documented all the incidents in light of the ban and pursuit by the Syrian regime and other armed groups.
The consistent bombing and targeting of medical facilities and medical teams since 2011 by the different conflict parties indicates a systematic policy that only aims to kill more victims and deepens the suffering of the injured civilians and rebels.
SNHR documented in the month of May the killing of 10 medics as follows:
A. Government forces killed eight medics as follows:
One doctor
One Pharmacist
Two nurses including a woman
One female SARC volunteer
Two paramedics
One medical staff member
B. Daesh: killed one female doctor
C. Armed opposition factions: killed one SARC volunteer
