“On Ukraine, I can tell you that we are alarmed by the impact of hostilities on hospitals and health workers, amid shelling of areas along the front lines. Our humanitarian colleagues on the ground are telling us that, today, a hospital in the city of Kherson was damaged after being hit. And on Friday, at least two health workers were reportedly injured after an ambulance came under shelling in Beryslav town, in an area under Ukrainian control in the Kherson region.”

“Since the start of the full-scale war, health facilities on both sides of the front lines in Ukraine have been destroyed or damaged. WHO says there have been 24 attacks on health care in the first three months of this year alone. In 2022, nearly 70 percent of all attacks against health care workers worldwide happened in Ukraine.”

“We once again stress that health workers and facilities must be protected under international humanitarian law. We, alongside our partners in Ukraine, are working to keep health services running. In recent months, humanitarian convoys have delivered medicine and medical supplies to several locations along the front line in the Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. Last year, we and our partners provided health services to some 9.4 million people in Ukraine.”
