What a sad indictment of our times that the Turkey Hub of the Health Cluster, a UN-activated humanitarian health coordination body, has begun to calculate the confirmed number of attacks against hospitals in Syria. Mohamed Elamein and colleagues,¹ as part of the Lancet Series on health in humanitarian crises,^2–5 present evidence on the use of the Monitoring Violence against Health Care tool to detect and verify attacks on health-care services and describe their effect in Syria. The tragic story these statistics tell highlights the need for action to stop attacks against health-care settings and workers in Syria and elsewhere in the world.

我们时代的可悲指控是，联合国激活的人道主义卫生协调机构土耳其卫生枢纽枢纽已开始计算对叙利亚医院的确诊袭击次数。Mohamed Elamein及其同事¹作为《柳叶刀》系列有关人道主义危机中健康的一部分，^2-5提供了有关使用针对医疗保健的暴力监测工具来检测和验证对医疗服务的攻击并描述其在叙利亚的影响的证据。这些统计数据所讲述的悲惨故事突出表明，必须采取行动，制止对叙利亚和世界其他地方的卫生保健机构和工人的袭击。
