Ukraine-Kherson: 15 civilians dead in Russian bombing-city hospitals evacuated

“Today, 15 residents of the city were killed and 35 injured, including a child,” as a result of the Russian raids, said Galina Lugova, head of the city’s military administration. He added that many “private houses and high-rise buildings” were damaged by the bombings.

At the same time, patients treated in hospitals in Kherson are evacuating the wards due to the “constant” Russian strikes in this city in the south of Ukraine, from which Moscow forces withdrew two weeks ago, the governor announced today. “Due to the constant Russian bombing, we are removing patients from Kherson hospitals,” Jaroslav Yanushevich, head of Kherson Military Command, told Telegram.

The Red Cross also said that Ukrainians are continuing to flee their homes as they face Russian attacks. “We expect an increase in population movement in the next few months. We are already seeing in Kiev that the city is emptying, “ Violene de Rozier, an official with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (ifrd) told reporters in Geneva via video link from the Ukrainian capital. The agency is also seeing an increased movement within the country.

The U. N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said half of Kiev remained without electricity and that water pressure was too low for those living on higher floors to access the water network.

However, the UN refugee agency UNHCR announced that it does not see an increase in the number of refugees fleeing Ukraine. Source: ape-MPE
