The humanitarian crisis is aggravated in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region due to a total shortage of medicines. This was announced in her Telegram channel by the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova.

“A humanitarian crisis is deepening in the temporarily occupied Kherson region due to the lack of medicine. As a result of the impossibility of deliveries in the region, almost all pharmacies stopped working. A small number of pharmaceutical institutions that are still operating have increased the prices of medicines by 3-5 times,” said Lyudmila Denisova.

Therefore, there is a shortage of drugs for cardiovascular diseases and antipyretics in the region..

At the same time, Russian invaders illegally import medicines into the territory of the Kherson region from the temporarily occupied Crimea and sell them in spontaneous local markets.. All these drugs are not certified and may pose a danger to human life and health..

Ukrainian volunteer missions are trying to get into the occupied territories, but the invaders do not let them through. In addition, they rob these humanitarian supplies, and then sell the loot to residents of the temporarily occupied territories..

“The Russian Federation violates the rights of residents of Ukraine to medical care, guaranteed by the Hague and Geneva Conventions. Such actions are contrary to the norms of Article 51 of the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention of August 12, 1949.

I appeal to the UN Commission to Investigate Human Rights Violations during the Russian military invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of human rights violations of the Russian Federation in Ukraine,” the Ukrainian Ombudsman emphasized.
