After the start of the "special military operation", putin's russia has carried out over a thousand attacks on medical institutions in Ukraine. This is stated in a press release by the World Health Organization.

In a total of 15 months of war, the WHO has registered 1004 cases of attacks on hospitals, clinics, and maternity homes. At least 101 people, including healthcare workers and patients, have been killed, and many others have been injured. Buildings, medical equipment, and ambulances have been damaged.
