WHO verifies 31 attacks on health care in Ukraine
At least 31 Russian attacks have been against Ukraine health care facilities, medical staff and ambulances, according to a joint statement Sunday from the World Health Organization, the United Nations and UNICEF.
“Today, we call for an immediate cessation of all attacks on health care in Ukraine. These horrific attacks are killing and causing serious injuries to patients and health workers, destroying vital health infrastructure and forcing thousands to forgo accessing health services despite catastrophic needs," the statement reads.

WHO's surveillance system for the attacks verified that at least 24 health care facilities have been damaged or destroyed. WHO said it has also verified that five ambulances have been destroyed in attacks.
The attacks on health care targets have caused at least 12 deaths and 34 injuries since the Russian invasion began, according to the statement.
Oxygen and other medical supplies, including those used for the management of pregnancy complications, "are running dangerously low," the statement said.
“For example, more than 4,300 births have occurred in Ukraine since the start of the war and 80,000 Ukrainian women are expected to give birth in the next three months," the organizations said.
