Stories that you confided to us
Oleksandr BIELASH worked as the head of the anaesthesiology department. It was he who, during the resuscitation of little Eva, who was the first child to die, appealed to putin. The hellish realities were included in the documentary 20 Days in Mariupol.
"Day and night were mixed. There were so many wounded that we were working on two operating tables at the same time.”
“I was in hell. I never thought it would be like this. We had no time to be afraid. There were many wounded and deaths, we did not count the patients. We tried to do it during the first day, but many of the wounded could not tell us their first or last names. We slept in the operating theatre.
I walked sideways in the corridor.
I believe that a third of the city was killed.
My aunt and uncle. They died. They lived in a 5-storey building on the Left. The basement. An air strike. The house collapsed to the basement. 9 arrivals to our house, an air bomb in the yard. On March 11, my wife and child came running to the hospital.
The last time we drank water from a fire truck.
On March 16 the hospital was occupied. The wounded were no longer brought in. We left," said Oleksandr BIELASH, a resident of Mariupol, a medical doctor.
