The rashists want to leave the Crimean people without proper medical care

In the last two months, the temporarily occupied peninsula has faced an acute problem with obtaining timely medical services.  Some medical facilities, especially in the north of the temporarily occupied peninsula, have been transformed into military field hospitals for the wounded and injured of the occupying army.  The situation is similar in the city of Sevastopol, where the russian military is being taken.

There are reports that the civilian population cannot receive basic medical services in time.

In addition, the occupier sends medical personnel from the peninsula to the temporarily occupied territory of mainland Ukraine.  It was reported that a group of 30 medical workers, including orthopedists, traumatologists, neurosurgeons, and anesthesiologists, were sent to the ORDO by the rashists.

Some doctors have been relocated to the village of Mangush to provide assistance on the front lines.

By his actions the aggressor violates the provisions of Articles 20, 51, 56 of the IV Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, according to which persons under protection may not be compelled to perform any work involving their participation in military operations and the occupying power cannot in any way prevent the population from receiving medical care.

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during the russian Military Invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of human rights violations in Ukraine.
