MSF’s third medical train referral in Ukraine: arrival in Lviv. 06 and 07 April – 40 patients evacuated by train from #Kramatorsk. One transferred in #Kyiv and 39 transferred in #Lviv This follows after another evacuation the previous day of 17 patients from Kramatorsk to Dnipro. We heard the horrific news on the morning of 08 April that Kramatorsk station had been hit by one or more strikes. “I am horrified by reports of bombing or missile strike today on Kramatorsk station. We were there yesterday, and we saw hundreds of people crowding the station, trying to leave. The hospitals had been urgently calling us to evacuate their patients by train. Most came from #Sievierodonestk and other towns in #Luhansk region. We were just in time with this train. Big questions whether we will be able to go back to evacuate more people.” © Maurizio Debanne/MSF

Ukraine: MSF Statement on bombing today on Krmatorsk station

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is horrified by reports of bombing or missile strikes today on Kramatorsk station in Ukraine. MSF was there yesterday, and we saw hundreds of people crowding the station, trying to leave.

Christopher Stokes, MSF Emergency Coordinator: 

“I am horrified by reports of bombing or missile strike today on Kramatorsk station. We were there yesterday, and we saw hundreds of people crowding the station, trying to leave. The hospitals had been urgently calling us to evacuate their patients by train. Most came from Sievierodonetsk and other towns in Luhansk region. We were just in time with this train. Big questions whether we will be able to evacuate more people.”
