Hey everybody, Emily Kwong here.

We are welcoming back today Science Desk Reporter Ari Daniel, who is looking at the health

impacts of the war in Ukraine on Ukrainians.

Hey Ari.

Hi Emily, good to be here.

We're so glad you're back.

Last week we talked to you about how the war was undermining tuberculosis treatment.

Yes, that's right.

And today my story that I'm going to share with you is about three health care professionals

in the Northern City of Chernegive, who describe an attack on one of the hospitals there.

And they kind of triangulate that attack through their different perspectives.

This account is just one of lots of examples of attacks on health infrastructure in Ukraine.

The regions of Kiev, Lahansk, Kharkiv, Mariopoul, and elsewhere have all been hit really hard.

From the start of the war through April 12th, when you and I are talking, Emily, the

World Health Organization has reported 119 separate assaults on Ukrainian health facilities.

And today we're going to take a look at one of them.

Today on the show we have the story of a sunny day in mid-March.

And the attack began on city hospital number two in Chernegive, Ukraine.

Doctors tell us what it was like and what's going on now.
