Olena Barsukova, Ukrainska Pravda.Zhyttia — MONDAY, 4 JULY 2022
Mariupol, temporarily occupied by the Russians, no longer has any medical staff.
Since 4 July, the city has been left without doctors, Petro Andriushchenko, the advisor to the mayor of Mariupol, reports on Telegram.
"Until the Moscow occupiers ‘landed’, there were 17 people in white coats [health-care professionals – ed.] working in Mariupol. As of today, they have all been sent home," wrote the advisor to the mayor.
According to Andriushchenko, there are no local Mariupol doctors in the city.
Petro Andriushchenko reported earlier on the medical collapse in Mariupol. There is almost no medicine in the occupied city.
According to Vadym Boichenko, the mayor of the city, people living in occupied Mariupol are struggling to survive due to the lack of drinking water.
Due to unsanitary conditions in the city, 10 to 15 people complain of cholera and dysentery symptoms every day, but they are not treated and simply sent home.
Russian "humanitarian" aid is given in exchange for work, in particular for clearing rubble. At the same time, the occupiers have decided to demolish the destroyed buildings, sending human remains mixed with the rubble to landfill.
