Hospitals should be places of healing, not theaters of war.
Hospitals should n’t be battlegrounds; they should be places for healing. Hospitals should n’t be battlegrounds; they should be places of healing.
Hospitals should be places of healing, not theaters of war.
Several decades ago in Chicago, I worked as a telephone operator at a small hospital known as Forkosh Memorial. The console of coils and plugs had a mirror that allowed operators to watch the hospital entrance, which was also supervised by an elderly security guard named Frank on weekends and evenings. Frank was unarmed. He was positioned at a desk by the entrance, holding a ledger book. Frank and I were the only security personnel at the hospital. Luckily, there were no major incidents. We never even considered the possibility of being attacked, invaded, or raided. An aerial bombing was unthinkable, resembling a scenario from War of the Worlds. Unfortunately, hospitals in Gaza and the West Bank have been subjected to attacks, invasions, bombings, and destruction.
