Following a Russian military attack on Kherson city on 24 October, MSF doctors received seven patients with blast and shrapnel injuries at the hospital we support in the city. The strikes reportedly killed two people and injured at least 28.
Patients reported that the attack occurred as children were heading to school and adults to work. The strikes hit a densely populated area, with fragments damaging a public transport stop where a bus was waiting, injuring several passengers.
MSF supports the hospital in Kherson with a team including an ER doctor, anaesthesiologists, a trauma surgeon and a feldsher. The city remains under constant bombardment, and people often arrive for treatment days after an attack due to ongoing insecurity and limited access to medical care — we fear that the true number of wounded from this attack could be higher.
