“Mariupol. Direct attack by Russian troops on the maternity hospital. People, the children are under the rubble. Atrocity!“, reads the president’s message.
Zelensky redirected his anger at the NATO for refusing to declare a no-fly zone over Ukraine, saying: “How much longer will the world be complicit in ignoring terror? Close the sky right now! Stop the killing! They have power but they seem to be losing humanity.”
For its part, the city council stressed that “the destruction is enormous.”
“The building of the medical facility where the children were recently treated is completely destroyed. Information about the victims is being clarified,” he added, the AFP news agency reported.
At least 17 adults are injured, but the figure is provisional.
Pavlo Kyrylenko, head of the Donetsk regional administration, explained that “these are a maternity hospital in the city center, a children’s ward and an internal medicine department.”
“Few things are more immoral than attacking the vulnerable and defenseless,” the British prime minister reacted, Boris Johnson after that attack. “The UK is seeking more support for Ukraine to defend itself against air strikes,” she added, saying “Russia will be held accountable for its terrible crimes.”
Meanwhile, the director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, denounced at a press conference that at least ten members of the health personnel died and 16 were injured in 18 attacks on medical facilities during the Ukraine war.
These attacks on buildings intended for medical care, ambulances and other civilian targets “deprive entire communities of health care,” lamented Tedros, who called on Russia to “allow unhindered access to this assistance for those who need it.”
The WHO sent 81 tons of medical supplies to Ukraine, including five tons that arrived in Kiev on Tuesday.
