The UN helped by the bombings of Idlib .. How?

For the Middle East reporter Anshal Vohra, the system was not working. In fact, it seems to reach the opposite of its apparent purpose. In the recent Syrian government attack on Idlib, nearly 46 civilian installations were attacked. The US-Syrian Medical Association, a local UN partner in Idlib, said at least 14 medical facilities attacked in Idlib were on the UN list. In other words, the Russian and Syrian governments knew exactly where the facilities were when they bombed them.

On July 30, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres determined who had detonated the premises, especially those believed to be under UN protection. But Vohra thinks the organization should consider checking whether the disengagement program, as it is currently designed, serves anything useful. Meanwhile, Russia and its allies will continue to receive information from the United Nations on the position of the opposition.

This was not the first time that specific installations were targeted. In March and April 2018, four of these hospitals were attacked. Susanna Sirkin, Policy Director of Physicians for Human Rights, a US-based human rights organization that has been monitoring attacks on medical infrastructure since the start of the war eight years ago, stated that the United Nations system was not working. "With this totally flawed mechanism, you have to question the wisdom of whoever shares the coordinates," she said.

Vohra said some organizations that had agreed to share sensitive data with the regime of Bashar al-Assad and his allies, including Russia, were aware of the risks involved and hoped to use the excesses in the long run to prove their cause.

Difficult decision
The decision to share their data was made after a very difficult study, said Debbis, a senior official of the Federation of Medicare and Rescue Organizations, an alliance of non-governmental organizations from the United States, France, Germany and other countries that help manage insurgent health facilities.

Debbis explained that the idea of ​​sharing contact details had been completely rejected in 2015, but after the Russians and the regime had started systematically targeting medical facilities in East Aleppo, the whole world realized that they knew the places through their spies. And ethics before the courts and international organizations, proving that the system and the Russians are deliberately hitting medical facilities. "

Born of despair
The bombing of Idlib was renewed on April 29, as the regime and its Russian allies tried to retake the last stronghold of the rebels. Civilians and activists had no choice but to hope that the international community would seek to save them. But that did not happen. The decision to share the location of their health centers with Russia through the United Nations was part of a strategy born of despair: taking the risk of being bombed, but at least d & # 39; 39, expose the authors.
