Head of the European Bureau of the World Health Organization Hans Klajla stated that the Russian invasion of Ukraine led to a large-scale humanitarian catastrophe.
In an interview with BBC, Twege said that currently the WHO has three priorities:
– delivery to the affected areas of Ukrainian vital medical drugs, such as drugs from diabetes and heart disease, the stocks of which are on the outcome;
– Strengthening the health care system in neighboring countries where the number of refugees continues to grow;
– Opening of the WHO Operational Center in Ukraine.
Earlier, the clue said that for 13 days of the invasion, the Ukrainian health system was under severe pressure, and Europe faced the fastest growing crisis with refugees over the past 75 years.
