Doctors Without Borders assisted a train passenger who was injured in a Russian missile attack on Dnipro and Samara on June 24.
This was reported to HMH.news by representatives of the organization.
“He (the passenger – ed.) was in the carriage when an explosion occurred nearby. The windows were shattered, and passengers were injured by fragments. After the attack ended, everyone was evacuated from the train. Our patient and his wife were in a state of shock, so they ran onto the highway and stopped the first passing car. The driver took them to a gas station, and it just so happened that we were nearby,” said Olga Tatsenko, a paramedic with Doctors Without Borders.
The medical team examined the man and treated his injuries.
“It was clear that the people were very frightened. And understandably so — we also heard the explosions and saw the smoke, but we had to do our job,” recalled Olga Tatsenko, a paramedic with Doctors Without Borders.
As missile attacks on Ukraine continue, Doctors Without Borders are working to ensure access to emergency medical care for everyone in need.
As of midday on June 25, more than 150 people injured in the June 24 missile strike remain hospitalized. Eighteen adults are in serious condition, while the rest are in moderate condition.
