Among the already wounded servicemen there are dead, newly wounded,” the message.

Due to an enemy attack, part of the premises collapsed, including the operating room, which made it almost impossible to help the wounded defenders.

“The Geneva Convention guarantees the protection of fixed and mobile medical facilities, they must not be attacked! The wounded and sick must enjoy protection, regardless of whether they are civilians or military persons (combatants). The wounded must be provided with the necessary assistance without any discrimination We call on international human rights organizations to respond to the fact that Russia continues to try to destroy even the defenders of Mariupol, who can no longer hold weapons in their hands! ”The Ukrainian defenders emphasized.

They also posted a video after the shelling. The footage shows how they dig up the dead soldiers who were in the hospital with serious injuries and provide first aid to the victims.
