Kate White, #MSF emergency coordinator: “We are horrified to hear reports that a hospital complex including a maternity ward in Mariupol was struck in an attack yesterday.” #Ukraine 1/6
“…While we can’t confirm that this was a targeted attack, we know from our staff that houses and hospitals have been damaged during the fighting." 2/6
“With active shelling, gunfights and aerial bombardment in Mariupol ongoing, seeking health care has become increasingly hard, especially so for expecting mothers and elderly people who are limited in their movements.” 3/6
“Attacks on health structures destroy what little capacity is left to treat urgent cases. In a city, where the health system is close to collapse, depriving people of much-needed health care is a violation of the laws of war.” 4/6
“People in Mariupol have been living through days of siege in agonizing conditions, and every new attack on civilian infrastructure adds to their utter desperation.” 5/6
“It is imperative that civilians and civilian infrastructure including health facilities be spared from attacks, and people’s right to seek health care and safety guaranteed." 6/6

Feb 25
MSF’s teams in Ukraine are deeply worried about the consequences of the conflict for Ukrainian people and communities. We see on the roads that tens of thousands of people are frightened and on the move. 🧵
The drastic change in context means we have had to take the painful decision to halt our activities, which included HIV care in Severodonetsk, TB care in Zhytomyr, and improving health care access in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
In these regions, we have been providing much-needed healthcare to conflict-affected communities. Although these programs have now mostly stopped, we did all we could to ensure some continuity of care for our patients.
