Attacks on health facilities in Ukraine have killed at least 10 people and injured 16, the head of the World Health Organization said.
The WHO has verified 18 attacks on health services including buildings, health workers and ambulances, Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said at a briefing in Geneva. Such attacks can be considered war crimes and the WHO is mandated with monitoring potential violations. Zelenskiy also reported on Twitter that a Russian air strike had hit a maternity hospital in Mariupol.
The WHO has, so far, delivered 81 tons of medical supplies to Ukraine. Hypothermia, frostbite, respiratory diseases, lack of treatment for cardiovascular diseases and cancer, as well as mental health issues are the main health challenges at the moment, the WHO said.
