The World Health Organization has warned that winter will threaten the lives of millions of people in Ukraine, after a series of devastating Russian strikes targeting the country’s energy infrastructure.
“This winter will endanger the lives of millions in Ukraine,” the regional director of the Health Organization of Europe told reporters. “This winter will be a matter of survival.
”
He added that the losses that affected the Ukrainian infrastructure “resulted in devastating effects on the health system and the health of the population. ”
Kalog said that the organization counted more than 700 attacks on Ukrainian health institutions since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February, which in its opinion constitutes a “clear violation” of international humanitarian law.
He considered that this means that “hundreds of hospitals and health institutions are no longer completely practical. We expect that two million additional people will leave their homes in an effort to warm and security. ”
He continued, “They will face major health problems, including respiratory infections such as the Corona virus, pulmonary infections, and the risk of (infection) with measles in non -broken individuals. “.
