Nearly a decade after the adoption of UN Security Council Res olution 2286\, which condemned attacks on healthcare in armed conflict and called for an end to impunity\, such attacks remain a persistent feature of contemporary conflicts. This phenomenon is taking place in Gaza\, Ukrai ne\, Iran\, Sudan\, and Ethiopia\, to mention a few. The list could go on. After briefly introducing how conflict affects health and the key role of medical personnel and infrastructure in such contexts\, I will examine ho w International Humanitarian Law (IHL)\, the branch of International Law r egulating the conduct of hostilities\, protects healthcare in conflict.
