“We are outraged that attacks on health care are continuing. Attacks on health care are a violation of international humanitarian law,” said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
WHO representative in Ukraine, Jarno Habicht, said 1,000 health facilities were close to conflict areas or changed areas of control.
“Health workers throughout the country are risking their lives to serve those in need of medical services, and they, and their patients, must never be targeted,” Mr Habicht said.
