“Purposeful, systematic targeting of critical civilian infrastructure, including energy and healthcare facilities, has pushed some 5.91 million women and girls to flee internally. And 745 recorded attacks on healthcare facilities as of 4 January, were a record for any conflict currently taking place,” reported the UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs.
According to Rosemary DiCarlo, because of these actions of the Russian Federation half of all health care facilities in the following regions of Ukraine were damaged: Donetsk, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv. All these institutions are unusable.
UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs also added that this is the highest number of attacks on medical facilities among all the wars of 2022.
