Quote: "Zlata suffered respiratory arrest during the strikes, so the doctors, risking their own lives, did not take shelter and continued resuscitation on the spot."

Details:Levchenko said that during the air raid, the other children were in a shelter, which the centre team had prepared in advance for overnight stays in case of possible attacks.

"Most of the children at the Butterfly House were evacuated from dangerous areas, had blast injuries and are still afraid to sleep near windows because of the stress they experienced. Therefore, even the sound of attacks is a hundred steps back in their rehabilitation," Levchenko wrote.

Currently, the hospice team is asking donors to help install metal shutters on the windows of the intensive care unit.
