The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised a grave alarm regarding the sustained increase in attacks on healthcare infrastructure and personnel in conflict zones.
世界衛生組織（WHO）對於衝突地區針對醫療基礎設施與人員的攻擊持續增加，發出了嚴重警告。
According to the WHO's Surveillance System for Attacks on Health Care (SSA), over 10,400 incidents have been verified since 2018.
根據世衛組織的醫療照護攻擊監測系統（SSA）顯示，自2018年以來，已核實超過10,400起事件。
By August 2026, the frequency reached an unsettling average of more than four attacks per day.
截至2026年8月，其頻率已達到令人不安的平均水準，即每天超過四起攻擊。
These incidents—including bombings and the destruction of medical supplies—are clear violations of international humanitarian law.
這些事件—包括轟炸和破壞醫療物資等—顯然違反了國際人道法。
The consequences are catastrophic, leading to a systemic collapse of healthcare services in regions like Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine.
後果是災難性的，導致加薩、蘇丹和烏克蘭等地的醫療服務系統崩潰。
Beyond immediate injuries and fatalities, these attacks dismantle the ability of hospitals to provide essential care, such as routine vaccinations and chronic disease management.
除了即時的傷亡外，這些攻擊拆解了醫院提供基本照護的能力，例如常規疫苗接種和慢性病管理。
A particularly concerning trend is the "weaponization" of care, where combatants justify strikes by claiming facilities have lost their protected status.
一個特別令人憂心的趨勢是醫療「武器化」，交戰方聲稱醫療設施已喪失受保護地位，從而將打擊正當化。
Despite the clear principle of medical neutrality—the idea that healthcare workers must be able to treat patients without interference—there is a profound lack of accountability.
儘管醫療中立的原則—即醫療工作人員必須在不受干擾的情況下治療病患的理念—已十分明確，但仍存在嚴重的問責缺失(ㄑㄩㄝ失)。
Without serious efforts to protect medical staff and facilities, the long-term impact on global health and human safety will remain devastating.
若沒有嚴肅努力來保護醫療人員和設施，對全球健康和人類安全的長期影響將會是毀滅性的。
