The World Health Organization said Wednesday that healthcare facilities and personnel globally were being attacked at an unprecedented rate — in particular in the conflict in Ukraine.
GENEVA , Switzerland– “We’ve never seen globally… this rate of attacks on healthcare,” the WHO’s emergencies director Michael Ryan told a press conference.
In just three weeks since Russia launched its full-scale invasion on February 24, there have been at least 43 attacks on healthcare in Ukraine, according to a WHO tally. He asked how the WHO could, in good conscience, send in emergency medical teams if their destination health facilities “are going to be attacked, and going to be bombed and going to suffer catastrophic damage?”
WHO said 300 health facilities are along the conflict front lines in Ukraine, or in areas now under Russian control.Tedros said the UN health agency had managed to establish supply lines for medical aid to many cities in Ukraine, “but challenges with access remain.” “Huge amounts of money are being spent on weapons. We ask donors to invest in ensuring that civilians in Ukraine and refugees receive the care they need,” he said.
