The World Health Organization said Thursday it had recorded 24 verified incidents of attacks on health care in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion on Feb. 24, APA reports citing CNN.
“These attacks have led to at least 12 deaths and 17 injuries. At least 8 of the injured and 2 of the killed were verified to be health workers. The attacks took place between 24 February and 8 March,” the WHO said in an email to CNN.
A deadly bombing of a maternity and children's hospital in Mariupol, which Ukrainian officials said killed three people, has been widely condemned.
