The World Health Organization (WHO) reported on Tuesday (March 8, 2022) that attacks on hospitals, ambulances, and healthcare facilities in Ukraine by Russia have sharply increased in recent days.

The head of the WHO European office, Dr. Hans Kluge, said that they have confirmed 16 attacks on healthcare facilities in Ukraine since the Russian invasion (February 24, 2022).

Catherine Smallwood, senior emergency officer for WHO Europe, added that these attacks have caused at least 9 deaths and 16 injuries.

"It must be said that healthcare workers, hospitals, and other medical facilities must not be targeted, even during crises and conflicts," said Kluge.

The WHO also warned that Ukraine is now experiencing a crisis in the supply of vital medical supplies. WHO said it has sent 76 tons of emergency medical supplies to Ukraine, such as oxygen, insulin, and surgical equipment.

"The dwindling oxygen supply is extremely worrying," said Kluge. He noted that deaths from Covid-19 in Ukraine, where only about 30% of people over 60 are vaccinated, are likely to increase due to oxygen shortages.
