So basically just like… the internet is banned?

TBF, this kind of disaster planning is not uncommon even outside the current context.

Most major metropolitan hospitals have disaster planning/simulation committees that regularly game-out responses to catastrophic incidents, including a nuclear bomb incident.

This also isn’t the first time WHO has done this kind of disaster preparedness (yea, even for nuclear weapon usage).

Israel could just not allow its settlers to fly crop dusters over the border to spray poison to kill Lebanese crops and none of this would happen.

These aren’t "double-tap’ strikes. These are war crimes.

They aren’t just bombing civilian infrastructure. Obviously they’ll hand-wave the incident away via some vague reference to some sketchy intelligence.

The followup strikes are a war crime because they’re waiting for first responders to arrive and then they kill them, too. That’s stupidly illegal, immoral, and inhumane. It’s akin to shooting a medic tending to a soldier on the battlefield.

Rohollah recalls how his daughter wanted to become a doctor.

“She used to tell me, ‘I promise I will become a doctor so you won’t have to pay medical bills anymore.’ I would hold her and say, ‘You are already my little doctor’,” he said.

“When I saw her smile after coming home from work, all my pain disappeared. Now I don’t know what to do with this pain. I don’t know how to live with this.”

This is especially fucked up when you factor in just how many excess birth defects/miscarriages occur in Afghanistan as a result of the environmental damage done by the US’s use of depleted uranium munitions all over the country.
