Such attacks significantly complicate the treatment of sick and wounded in Ukraine, after almost four years of Russia’s full-scale war.<\/p>\n
The International Rescue Committee (IRC), an NGO that had been using the warehouse in Dnipro, says it lost $195,000 worth of medication and supplies, which could have served 30,000 people in need.<\/p>\n
“When I arrived at the site I was devastated, the scene was simply awful. All of this medicine could have served people for years, and in a single moment it was all lost,” says the IRC’s Andriy Moskalenko.<\/p>\n
The IRC said the Dnipro facility had served “as a critical hub for hospitals, healthcare providers, pharmacies and humanitarian actors”.<\/p>\n
Mr Babenko from BADM said the Russian attack had destroyed “vitally important medicines” that had been imported and are not produced in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
“It’s a pretty complicated situation,” he told the BBC.<\/p>\n
But he is hopeful that the attack will not leave Ukrainians without medicines.<\/p>\n
“There won’t be significant shortages, possibly only of certain types of goods. We’re hoping to restore all supplies in a month or a month-and-a-half,” Mr Babenko said.<\/p>\n
Ukrainian authorities accuse Russia of deliberately targeting hospitals, ambulances, medics and rescue workers, claims Moscow has denied. <\/p>\n
According to the government in Kyiv, more than 2,500 medical institutions have been damaged or destroyed, and more than 500 civilian doctors, nurses and other medical workers killed.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, the World Health Organization said it had recorded 2,763 attacks on Ukraine’s healthcare system since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, and it said that in 2025 there had been a 12% increase in attacks from the previous year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Such attacks significantly complicate the treatment of sick and wounded in Ukraine, after almost four years of Russia’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629318,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[2000,299,657],"class_list":{"0":"post-629317","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-ukraine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115709737980134730","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
