I’m over four thousand girls and boys born in Ukraine since the war broke out on February 24th. Over a month ago. We immediately saw the images of the cradles and incubators transported to underground shelters that have become second homes for all the civilians left in the country. The only places to feel safe as soon as it became clear that the bombing would not stop quickly and the targets would not be military only.
Thus pregnant women close to giving birth began to spend hours of labor in the basement, on improvised cots and often far from their companions, engaged at the front. To the images ofchildren’s hospital destroyed by bombing in Mariupol, joined by those of the maternity wards who resist or who have been transferred to shelters near Kiev and in the bombed cities.
Thus, with arrogance, life opposes the death sown by war. And looking at those mothers with eyes full of love makes the nonsense of war even more evident. The horror of her which, although profound, cannot oppose the wonder of the cry of a newborn who comes into life. Even if the first breath is in a world at war.
«A month of conflict in Ukraine led to displacement of 4.3 million children, more than half of the child population, estimated in the country at 7.5 million ”, underlined the United Nations Children’s Fund. This number includes more than 1.8 million children who have reached neighboring countries as refugees and 2.5 million who are now internally displaced in Ukraine.
“The situation in Ukraine is getting worse,” he said UNICEF Director-General Catherine Russell. “As the number of children fleeing their homes continues to rise, we must remember that each of them needs protection, education, safety and support.”
