UC Berkeley study finds increased pandemic-related attacks on healthcare Nada Lamie/Staff In a collaboration with Geneva-based nonprofit Insecurity Insight, researchers at the UC Berkeley Human Rights Center mapped and documented more than 1,100 threats and acts of violence against healthcare affiliates and facilities within the last year. The team developed an “Atlas of Attacks” using data collected from the Security in Numbers Database, Armed Conflict Location and Event Dataset and the World Health Organization’s Surveillance System of Attacks on Healthcare. The atlas was used to map COVID-19-related attacks across the globe. Three countries — Mexico, India and Libya — were used as case studies to demonstrate the varying motivations behind and impacts of the attacks.
