Tetiana, MSF patient: "We were at home, it happened maybe 5-6 metres from the house. An explosion, ringing in the ears, panic, hysteria... That's it. [I got] injured in the sternum, arm, leg, and got my finger amputated."
Text on screen: Médecins Sans Frontières ambulance transported the patient from Druzhkivka, where she was treated.
Diana Bilonozhko, MSF paramedic: "There is no computed tomography scanner in Druzhkivka, and we were asked to transport a patient from Druzhkivka to Kramatorsk, as they have the equipment needed. Most of the hospitals [near the front line] are destroyed, they need help, we need to offload them somehow. We are transporting patients to safer places."
Text on screen: MSF currently has 17 ambulances operating near the frontline. In 2024, they made more than 8,000 referrals.
