WHO says no one held accountable for 10,000 attacks on healthcare The World Health Organization said on Friday that more than 10,000 attacks on healthcare had been recorded since 2018, but nobody had ever been brought to justice. These attacks, reported across 29 countries and territories, have resulted in approximately 5,700 deaths and 8,500 injuries, the WHO said. Altaf Musani, director of the WHO's humanitarian and disaster management unit, who presented the figures at a media briefing in Geneva, said accountability could take place not just at the national level.
