This was announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.

"Each family with children affected by yesterday's attack will receive assistance from UNICEF in the amount of UAH 10,800 (USD 260) for each family member," Shmyhal wrote.

The Prime Minister also thanked everyone who responded to the fundraising for Okhmatdyt children's hospital through the United24 platform. It is worth noting that Ukrainians raised UAH 100 million in less than three hours, and the fundraising has been extended.

Russian attack on Okhmatdyt children's hospital

On July 8, the Russian army attacked Kyiv with missiles. The strike resulted in deaths, and the number of injured continues to grow. July 9 is declared a day of mourning in the capital of Ukraine.

Russia struck a children's hospital with a Kh-101 strategic cruise missile. Fragments of the rear body of the missile with a serial number, as well as part of its rudder, were found at the site of the tragedy.

On Tuesday, July 9, emergency and rescue operations on the territory of Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv were completed. Two people died as a result of the Russian attack on the hospital, and 32 people were treated for injuries. Eight children were hospitalized with injuries.
