A maternity hospital in besieged Mariupol was completely destroyed on March 9 following an airstrike that killed at least 12 people, including infants, and injured 17, according to reports.

A pregnant woman who was injured did not make it and ended up with her unborn child.

The humanitarian tragedy that took place in Ukraine is highlighted by photos from the Russian attack at the Children’s Hospital and Maternity Hospital in the besieged Mariupol, with pregnant women leaving and other civilians leaving the hospital with pain and terror painted on their faces.

“Today, the Russian occupiers launched an air raid on a maternity hospital in Mariupol, where pregnant women and medical personnel were at the time,” the KyivPost newspaper commented.

A shocking video that was released shows injured people being transported out of the children’s hospital.

Russia denies targeting civilians in what it calls a “special operation” in Ukraine.

“The Russian occupation forces dropped many bombs on the children’s hospital. “The catastrophe is colossal.” Ukrainian officials said at the time.

Mariupol. Immediate attack of Russian troops on the maternity hospital. People, children are under the rubble. Atrocity! “How much longer will the world be an accomplice to the ignorance of terror?” Asked then-President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, calling once again for the imposition of a no-fly zone.

The bombing of the maternity hospital in Mariupol by the Russian military forces on March 9 recalls in an interview with the previous days in the Guardian the Mariana Vishegirskaya accused of being an “actor” by the Russian embassy in Britain, a tweet that was later deleted by Tweeter as fake news. Throughout the description the young woman was holding her newborn daughter in her arms.

“The bombing took place on March 9, at the hospital number 3 in Mariupol,” it is said. “We were lying in the wards when glass, debris, windows and walls were thrown,” he said, adding: “We do not know how it happened. We were in the wings and some had time to cover. Some do not “he states in a video – pre-publication of the interview.

It is recalled that the Russian embassy in London caused the anger of Twitter users as through its posts it disputed that civilians were injured by the bombing of the maternity hospital in Mariupol, characterizing the Vishegirskaya actress because he used to advertise … make-up.

Images of pregnant women carrying blood on stretchers after the Russian air strike caused an international uproar, while as it became known on Monday morning, a pregnant woman who was injured in the bombing of the maternity hospital in Mariupol ended up with her unborn baby.
