Through practical measures, the training aimed to prevent long-term complications from serious injuries like fractures, amputations & spinal cord injuries, & to accelerate the recovery.

The protection of detainees & wounded is a critical aspect of international humanitarian law (IHL). The law outlines their rights and protections afforded during armed conflict.
The @ICRC plays a crucial role in promoting compliance with these rules to ensure their protection.

The laws of war are not meant to exist only on paper; they must be enforced to save lives. Intentionally attacking civilians or civilian property is not allowed.
