Nadiia, along with her little daughter and husband, had been hiding in the department of surgery of City Hospital No. 1 for a month. 

"We thought we would go there for two days, but they turned into a month", - says Nadiia. 

On March 9, the operating room was bombed in the department, and the equipment was damaged. Then, the roof of the surgery caught fire. They laid the children in the corridor, tried to extinguish the flames, but there wasn't enough water, so they tore the roof off onto the ground.

"And at night, there was an air strike. The wards were bombed out; doors and windows were smashed down. Downstairs was a trauma unit, non-walking wounded with amputations. They lay quietly and were silent. In a state of shock", - tells Nadiia, a resident of Mariupol.
