Nearly 270 attacks on health centers have been observed in more than three months of war in Ukraine. More than 70 people have been killed in the violence, World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday in Geneva.
Last week, the World Health Assembly approved a resolution condemning the Russian offensive and calling for an end to these assaults on health. “It is too early” to assess whether this might have had an effect on the ground, Mr. Tedros told the press.
Similarly, the WHO has no indication of possible reactions from the authorities or the Russian army. “We will monitor” this situation, added the director general.
Faced with various health challenges, the organization has delivered more than 510 tons of assistance since the start of the war. She has also supervised more than 1,300 health personnel. /ATS-elc
