More than 600 incidents of violence against healthcare providers, patients and medical infrastructure have been recorded during the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is according to the International Committee of the Red Cross, ICRC. The release of this new data by the aid agency coincides with World Humanitarian Day, observed annually on the 19th of August to celebrate people helping people. The ICRC is concerned that the crisis has put healthcare workers in harm's way at a time when they are needed the most. ICRC spokesperson Crystal Wells explains.
