FACT CHECK · WAR CONDUCT: HOSPITALS, TUNNELS, WARNINGS, TARGETING, JOURNALISTS, AID WORKERS

Claim: Warnings exist, but protection remains

TRUE

THE ANSWER

HRW (14 Nov 2024): orders were 'inconsistent, inaccurate' and safe zones 'repeatedly attacked'. ICRC Rule 20: warnings must be effective, and civilians who stay still keep protection.
