Recall
A massive missile attack by Russian forces on Ukrainian cities on July 8 killed 42 people, including four young children, and injured 190.
The Russian Federation launched a missile attack on the children's hospital “Okhmatdet”, which treats children with the most severe diagnoses from all over Ukraine. At the time of the attack there were 627 young patients in the hospital. The shelling at Okhmatdet killed two people and wounded more than 50.
UNN reported that four children from the Okhmatdet National Children's Hospital and their parents were evacuated to Austria and Switzerland to continue treatment for serious illnesses, including a 12-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
