On the 8th of July, the Okhmatdyt hospital, the largest children’s hospital in Ukraine, was severely damaged amid the ongoing war. Since then, WHO and health partners supported the evacuation of 16 of their patients to Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where they can now continue their life-saving treatment for cancer and other conditions.
This World Humanitarian Day, we demand an end to these violations and the impunity with which they are committed, and that healthcare services and humanitarian work be actively protected, to ensure the establishment of safe working space for the delivery of healthcare, and equitable, safe access to healthcare services, free from violence, threat, or fear.
