Today’s attack on #Ukraine’s largest medical center for children is “yet another brutal reminder that nowhere is safe for children in Ukraine," says UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. "Hospitals should be safe havens, and they are afforded a special level of protection under international law," says Russell. "Civilians, including children and the facilities and services they rely on, must always be protected." UNICEF is providing emergency assistance after Ukraine’s Okhmatdyt Hospital was targeted during a wave of deadly missile strikes — and will continue working across Ukraine, including in frontline areas, to respond to the immediate needs of children and their families. More than anything, the children of Ukraine need lasting peace.
