Following Russia’s attack on Ukraine’s Mariupol’s maternity hospital last week, a pregnant woman who was meant to give birth there and her unborn child have died.
Images of when she was stretchered from the bombed hospital has gone viral.
The viral images of the woman being stretchered from the wreckage of the hospital, analysts say, epitomised the horror of Russia’s attack on the world’s most innocent, according to the Associated Press on Monday.
The woman was reportedly taken to another hospital where doctors were unable to save her or her unborn child.
Surgeon Timur Marin found the woman’s pelvis crushed and hip detached, the news agency reported.
Medics delivered the baby via caesarean section, but it showed “no signs of life,” the surgeon told the AP.
After 30 minutes of attempts to resuscitate the mother, she was also declared dead, the Wall Street Journal reported.
