KYIV, Ukraine, February 14, 2024—Two hospitals near the front lines of the war in Ukraine have been shelled by the Russian military in the last 24 hours.At around midnight local time, a hospital in Selydove was hit, killing three people and wounding six. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) ambulance crews referred 10 patients to safer locations, three of whom require intensive care. More than 20 other patients were referred by Ministry of Health ambulances.
Yesterday, strikes on a hospital in Kherson city forced an MSF surgical team there to seek shelter and damaged the outpatient clinic. An MSF team is regularly based at the hospital, supporting the intensive care unit and surgical services.
"These hospitals are near the front line, where access to medical care is critical," said Christopher Stokes, MSF's head of programs in Ukraine. "We unequivocally condemn the continued strikes on hospitals. Patients, medical staff and health facilities must be protected."
