A/HRC/33/55 incubators, and drugs were destroyed. The hospital, notably its emergency room, paediatric unit and laboratory, sustained such damage that the hospital was forced to close. 49. Less than a week after the attack on Al-Quds hospital, the Security Council unanimously adopted its resolution 2286 (2016), in which it called for an end to attacks on health-care workers and facilities and affirmed the principle, codified in the Geneva Conventions of 1949, that medical personnel and infrastructure are not to be targeted during warfare. 50. Resolution 2286 (2016) had little impact on the battlefield, where attacks on medical workers and facilities continued with impunity. On 8 June, government jets dropped two barrel bombs near the Al-Bayan trauma hospital and the adjacent Al-Hakim paediatric hospital in Aleppo city. Two points, both within 20 metres of the hospitals, were hit, killing civilians in the area and destroying several buildings. The barrel bombs started a large fire and many of those killed, including a 12-year-old boy, were burned to death. Several walls of the Al-Bayan hospital collapsed and the medical store was set ablaze. Attempts to extinguish the fire damaged the remaining medicines. 51. On 20 July, government forces bombarded a forensic hospital in Aleppo city, injuring five medical workers and damaging the building. The following day, the hospital was destroyed by two barrel bombs. 52. With the opposition-controlled areas of Aleppo city and Aleppo governorate under heavy bombardment by government forces, the loss of every doctor and every clinic leaves civilians without the services that they need in order to survive. As life is made increasingly impossible, those who are able flee. Left behind are those physically unable to flee, including the elderly, the injured and the disabled. The most impoverished members of the community also stay, unwilling to leave what property they own and without sufficient funds to travel and live with dignity elsewhere. Men and boys over the age of 13 years also stay, afraid they will be killed, beaten or disappeared at government checkpoints. 53. As the Government attacks the only supply route into the areas of Aleppo city under the control of armed groups, the attack on medical facilities appears to form part of the already documented siege campaign, which is designed to force the fall of the city, and to pave the way for the advance of ground forces in northern Aleppo governorate. 54. Recent attacks on medical workers and facilities were also documented in Idlib, Damascus and Latakia governorates. On 15 February, the same day as the attack on the maternity hospital in Azaz, government planes twice bombed an medical centre run by Médecins sans frontières in Maarat al-Numan, killing approximately nine people and injuring many more. The second attack occurred 15 minutes later, and appeared to target first responders. The hospital was entirely destroyed, with approximately 25 killed, including 9 members of the medical team and 16 patients. Dozens were trapped in the rubble for up to 48 hours before being rescued. 55. On 30 May, shortly after the adoption of resolution 2286 (2016), pro-Government planes heavily bombarded Idlib city. One strike hit the area directly outside of the Idlib National Hospital. There were no casualties of the attack affecting the hospital, although casualties were documented in other areas of the city. 56. On 20 July, government forces intensely bombarded Idlib city. Al-Watani hospital was hit, killing four civilians. Seventeen people were reported injured. The hospital was put out of service. Later on the same day, the health directorate was heavily damaged in a government air strike. Later, the health services in Idlib released a public message, indicating that the health-care infrastructure had been badly damaged and that it would be difficult to resume operations. 10
