History

Historical Context

In 1993, amid the siege of Sarajevo (5 April 1992-29 Feb 1996), Bosnian Serb forces bombed a hospital, killing 30 patients and wounding civilians, violating the 1949 Geneva Conventions and prompting ICRC condemnation. The siege averaged 329 shell impacts daily, peaking at 3,777 on 22 July 1993, and the 2024 Israeli strike on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital’s supply warehouse drew Doctors Without Borders’ denunciation of breach of medical neutrality.
