As rescue workers finished sifting through the rubble, doctors and nurses raced to help the scores of critically ill children who now must find care elsewhere.
Daryna Vertetska was sitting with her eight-year-old daughter in Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital when Russian missiles began to ring out in the sky.
Now, the hospital where Kira had spent five months receiving lifesaving treatment is gone, another medical facility destroyed by Russia in its yearslong invasion of Ukraine. “It is terrifying because this is the only reference laboratory in Ukraine that confirms all oncohematological diseases,” Dr Natalia Molodets, the head of the pediatric hematology department at the Odesa regional children’s hospital, said, referring to blood cancers.
About the same time that the children’s hospital was hit, debris from another Russian missile crashed into the Isida maternity hospital and a neighbouring private clinic elsewhere in Kyiv. Nine people were killed in that strike, including two children. “Both children and adults screamed and cried from fear and the wounded from pain,” he said. “It was a real hell.” More than 300 people were injured, including eight children, according to Zhovnir. Two adults were also killed, including one doctor.
