This section documents the destruction of municipal headquarters and local institutions that provided vital services to the population, such as water management, electricity, sewage, waste management, and maintenance. This deliberate destruction constitutes a breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which mandates the protection of civil infrastructure necessary to ensure the continuity of daily life. It also represents a violation of international humanitarian law, which prohibits targeting facilities that serve civilians. Furthermore, the Additional Protocol I of 1977 emphasizes the protection of individuals and staff of local authorities involved in providing humanitarian assistance from any attack or assault, criminalizing the targeting of these individuals or obstructing them from performing their humanitarian duties.
