Russian-occupied Mariupol facing 'medical collapse'

0 min read

Advisor to Mariupol mayor Petro Andriushchenko said on Telegram on June 8 that there is a catastrophic lack of medical staff in the city. Russian occupying forces are "'persuading' locals who are over 80 years of age to come back to work at the hospitals," he wrote. Some 100,000 Ukrainians remain trapped in blockaded Mariupol without utilities, food, or water.
