Original Note:
Under international law it is stated that harm caused to civilians or civilian property must be proportional and not "excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated". a 1:15 ratio of dead civilians in a refugee camp goes against said principle. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/api-1977/article-52#:~:text=Article%2052%20%2D%20General%20protection%20of%20civilian%20objects,-1.&text=Civilian%20objects%20shall%20not%20be,limited%20strictly%20to%20military%20objectives.
