The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported at least 162 attacks on health facilities in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion.
“Attacks on health facilities violate international law and put lives in danger. Healthcare workers, hospitals and ambulances should NEVER be targeted,” the WHO wrote in a tweet on Thursday.
Records date between February 24 and April 16, causing 52 injuries and 73 deaths, according to the organization. The targets were health facilities, transport, personnel, patients, supplies and warehouses.
Dr. Hans Henri Kluge, WHO’s regional director for Europe, said the organization has been working to ensure medical and health supplies reach cities and towns across Ukraine despite the attacks.
“Peace is the only way forward. I again call on the Russian Federation to stop the war,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
