Deutsche Welle reports.

It is noted that the allocated money, together with funds from other donors, will be used to quickly return the hospital to working condition and prepare the building for operation in winter.

In particular, it will be used to repair and maintain the hospital's facades, treatment rooms, as well as electricity and heat supply.

As Schulze emphasized, the destruction of the children's hospital shows “how ruthlessly and inhumanely Russia is waging this aggressive war.”

“We must not and will not accept the fact that this place of healing for children with cancer no longer exists in Ukraine,” the German minister added.

Russian attack on Okhmatdyt children's hospital: what is known

On July 8, the Russian army attacked Kyiv with missiles. The attack resulted in deaths, and the number of victims continues to grow. July 9 is declared a Day of Mourning in the capital.

Russia strikes a children's hospital with a Kh-101 strategic cruise missile. It is noted that the fragments of the body of the rear part of the missile with a serial number, as well as part of its rudder, were found at the site of the tragedy.

On July 9, emergency rescue operations on the territory of Okhmatdyt in Kyiv were completed, with two dead and 32 injured reported. However, on July 10, it became known that a boy who had been in intensive care at the time of the attack died in the hospital. On the morning of July 12, a 7-year-old boy died in Kyiv, who was in Okhmatdyt during the Russian attack.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that UNICEF would provide financial assistance to families affected by the attack on Okhmatdyt. He also said that the government would fully rebuild the hospital.

On July 16, Okhmatdyt CEO Volodymyr Zhovnir predicted that the hospital would probably be able to fully resume operations in at least six months.
