Till late May, Sievierodonetsk Multidisciplinary Hospital worked under fire, treating both civilian and military ill and wounded.  Physicians decided to relocate to a calmer region when the forthcoming occupation of the city had become evident, realizing that the medical team would not be able to keep helping the patients.  By the time the medics left, the hospital building had been razed to the ground.  They only managed to get out with three ambulance cars, an ultrasonography device, and a cardiograph.  Other equipment was damaged.  Thirty percent of the hospital’s personnel moved to Dnipro, including 70% of physicians.

The team of Starobilsk Hospital spent a month under occupation in Luhansk Oblast. Initially, the medics decided not to leave the city because they believed they should help patients despite the russian occupation. However, their work became impossible within a month, and the physicians decided to head for the territory controlled by Ukraine. They resumed their work in Dnipro; however, they needed time and much money to do so because the russians prevented them from taking the equipment.

The consultation outpatient clinic evacuated from Luhansk is now working in Dnipro. The institution provides medical attention to IDPs and everyone who needs it free of charge under the Program of Medical Guarantees framework.

It is the second time that the outpatient clinic from Luhansk has had to evacuate. Initially, it moved to Sievierodonetsk, but it had to move again from that city due to russia’s full-scale invasion.

A family of IDPs from Donetsk Oblast opened a family bakery in Dnipro. They have had to leave their home twice because of russia’s aggression. In 2014, they left occupied Horlivka; this year, they had to leave Toretsk. Now, they bring bread and buns baked in their new bakery there. It is impossible to bake bread in Toretsk anymore because there is no water, no electricity, and no gas. However, there are still people in this city on the front line who wait for fresh bread.

The IDPs said they had planned to open one more bakery in March – in Sievierodonetsk in Luhansk Oblast. They even installed equipment there. However, they lost their property when the city was bombarded by artillery and then occupied by the russian forces.
