This medical centre in Donetsk cares for premature babies. Some weigh as little as 500 grams

This medical centre in Donetsk cares for premature babies. Some weigh as little as 500 grams. Without special equipment they have almost no chance of survival. That is why the first thing the medics do in case of shelling is to take the equipment out. And the women in labour are lowered underground into shelters.

Watch an episode of Alexandra Frank’s documentary series ‘Faces of Donbass’. In it, one of the Donetsk medics, Dmitriy Mironenko, shows the basements where women give birth when Ukraine starts shelling the city.
