Health Ministry condemned Saturday the bombing and targeting of several public hospitals and public health centers as a result of the clashes taking place in Tripoli.

The Ministry stressed that targeting health facilities with missiles and directing fire towards them, and preventing ambulance crews and medical services from providing assistance to civilians amounts to war crimes and prosecutes perpetrators.

It called for all medical facilities, emergency centers and ambulances to be spared the risk of armed clashes, fearing that the targeting of all hospitals operating in Tripoli would expand.
