In eastern Ukraine, water shortage puts babies and mothers at risk

STAKHANOV, Ukraine, 16 July 2015 – Between 30 and 50 children are born at the Stakhanov hospital every month. The city lies in what is now a non-government-controlled part of Luhansk region. It has the only operating maternity hospital in the area, after shelling damaged maternity wards in the nearby cities of Pervomaysk and Kirovsk, and medical staff at the ward in Bryanka have been displaced.
