Iran (IMNA) - According to international humanitarian law, particularly the Geneva Conventions and their additional protocols, civilian populations and residential areas must not be attacked under any circumstances. These legal frameworks are designed to limit human suffering during armed conflicts, obligating all parties to:
- Distinguish at all times between civilians and combatants.
- Avoid targeting residential buildings, infrastructure, and non‑military sites.
- Take all feasible precautions to protect civilians from harm.
- Refrain from any action that could cause disproportionate injury or loss of civilian life.
These rules exist to preserve human dignity and reduce the devastating impact of conflict on families, homes, and communities.
In the following short clip you will watch an elderly man, left with nothing but a dirt‑covered shoe as the only remaining belonging of his grandchild, wanders among the ruins of his child’s destroyed home, murmuring in grief.”
The elderly man moves slowly across the shattered remains of what was once a home filled with voices, warmth, and the soft laughter of a child. The dust rises around his feet as though the earth itself is exhaling sorrow. In his trembling hand, he holds a single dirt‑covered shoe, weightless, yet unbearably heavy with memory. It is all that remains of a grandchild who used to run across this very courtyard, chasing sunlight, chasing life.
