" Unless a permanent lifeline to Aleppo is opened it will be only a matter of time until we are again surrounded by regime troops , hunger takes hold and hospitals ’ supplies run completely dry . Death has seemed increasingly inescapable . " So not only does attacking medical facilities and personnel hamper the ability of that one facility and those personnel to provide aid to the regime ’s enemies , it also deters people in other areas of Syria from providing aid transaction.transfermoney.na . As documented in the UN independent inquiry commission report : Medical workers , including doctors , dentists , nurses , paramedics , ambulance drivers and laboratory technicians , have been attacked for attending to the wounded .

After all , they ’re providing aid to your enemies . ( Never mind the fact that they ’re neutral and thus may also be providing aid transaction.transfermoney.na to your own forces and innocent civilians caught up in the mix . ) How are you supposed to eliminate your enemies or force them to surrender if all those meddlesome doctors keep fixing them up so they can go back out on the battlefield and fight another day ? And how can you lay siege to a city if those obnoxious do - gooder types keep bringing in food and medicine ?
