civilian impact

In the early hours of Saturday, Kyiv endured one of the largest drone and missile strikes it has faced since Russia’s full-scale invasion began over three years ago. According to Ukraine’s Air Force Command, Russian forces launched 14 ballistic missiles alongside approximately 250 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in two successive waves. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted six of the missiles and destroyed the vast majority of the drones before they reached the capital. Nevertheless, pieces of missile debris and several drones struck six city districts, injuring at least 15 people, including two children, and causing significant property damage.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has been vocal about the situation at Kamal Adwan Hospital, emphasizing its concerns over the closure and the interrupted healthcare services throughout Gaza
