"There was wild fear in the women's eyes. They were about to give birth, and there was continuous shelling"

During the full-scale invasion, Dmytro worked as an intern at the maternity hospital where a russian plane dropped a bomb on March 16, and was also on duty at the regional hospital. He stayed there until March 19, when he left the city.

"There were many wounded in the hospital. I was in charge of pregnant women. We performed several caesarean sections and delivered four babies. A pregnant woman who was brought in after an air strike had shrapnel in her legs. Women had fear in their eyes, but they had to give birth. How to behave? What to do?

I was in a ward on the 5th floor. I felt something hit the hospital - the building shook. We took all the patients down to the basement. It was very cold," said Dmytro, a resident of Mariupol.
