Today in @nytimes print: 4 data-filled pages on hospital & civilian attacks in Syria, the UN's limited inquiry into these, and the perpetrators, which the UN will likely withhold. Design by @talasafie, @cgee and @gianordoli. Interactive here: nytimes.com/interactive/20… 
@nytimes @talasafie @cgee @gianordoli @trbrtc @SyriaCivilDef @P4HR @ActionForSama @dim109 @Step_Agency @SyriaCivilDefe The locations of these facilities were given to the UN & coordinates shared with warring parties. But that didn't stop them being hit. Attacks continue: in one week this month, at least 81 civilians incl 13 women, 14 girls and 20 boys were killed. reliefweb.int/sites/reliefwe…
@nytimes @talasafie @cgee @gianordoli @trbrtc @SyriaCivilDef @P4HR @ActionForSama @dim109 @Step_Agency @SyriaCivilDefe Since last April, at least 60 attacks on hospitals and medical facilities have been recorded. One @nytimes investigation found that Russian pilots bombed four hospitals in just 12 hours in May 2019. #StopBombingHospitals nytimes.com/2019/10/13/rea…
@nytimes @talasafie @cgee @gianordoli @trbrtc @SyriaCivilDef @P4HR @ActionForSama @dim109 @Step_Agency @SyriaCivilDefe One of those hospitals was bombed by Russia again in November (nytimes.com/video/world/mi…). And witnesses reported another airstrike Wednesday night on a hospital in Ariha, the first town we investigated in the Board of Inquiry story up top.
@nytimes @talasafie @cgee @gianordoli @trbrtc @SyriaCivilDef @P4HR @ActionForSama @dim109 @Step_Agency @SyriaCivilDefe We also found evidence - incl. cockpit recordings - that Russia carried out the bloodiest attacks on civilians in 2019, bombing an IDP camp and busy market town. Yet the UN risks letting Russia off the hook - its inquiry includes just one Russian attack nytimes.com/video/world/mi…
@nytimes @talasafie @cgee @gianordoli @trbrtc @SyriaCivilDef @P4HR @ActionForSama @dim109 @Step_Agency @SyriaCivilDefe UNSC action has been stymied by division and Russian vetos of resolutions on Syria. Today, activists including the Oscar-nominated @waadalkateab, petitioned the UN and its leader to find ways to hold perpetrators to account and prevent further attacks.
@nytimes @talasafie @cgee @gianordoli @trbrtc @SyriaCivilDef @P4HR @ActionForSama @dim109 @Step_Agency @SyriaCivilDefe @waadalkateab To get a sense of the scale healthcare destruction in Syria, a formerly middle-income country with a robust health system, take a look at this map by @P4HR, who have been documenting attacks since 2011: syriamap.phr.org/#/en/attacks
@nytimes @talasafie @cgee @gianordoli @trbrtc @SyriaCivilDef @P4HR @ActionForSama @dim109 @Step_Agency @SyriaCivilDefe @waadalkateab Medical personnel were also targeted, as @P4HR's recent report into the detention, interrogation and torture of medics revealed. Thread here, also including @ABarnardNYT's years-long investigation of Syria's torture machine
Anyone in contact with Syrian witnesses and documentarians in Idlib and Aleppo, please share this 👇. Where possible we'd like folks to record the minute that attacks happen because we can check Russian and Syrian pilot activity.
