The World Health Organization (WHO) has condemned the latest attack on a health facility in a disputed city in Somalia's Somaliland region, where dozens of people were killed and injured, including healthcare workers and patients. ManilaBulletin READ:

"In situations where healthcare systems are already fragile, attacks on health care have devastating consequences going beyond the loss of lives of health workers and the patients they might have saved," said Mamunur Rahman Malik, WHO representative for Somalia, in a statement issued Thursday evening in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.

According to the WHO, this is the fifth time that the facility has been hit since the violence in Las Anod erupted last year. "I, therefore, appeal to all to protect healthcare facilities and health workers, and ensure access to health care for everyone irrespective of their involvement in the conflict," he said.
