In the shadow of uncertainty, a Kyiv hospital has become a makeshift sanctuary for hundreds. At Shalimov National Institute of Surgery and Transplantology, over 400 residents—including displaced families—are finding temporary refuge. Among them is Eva, a mother of two, who has spent four sleepless nights guarding her children in the hospital's corridors. 🏥👧👦
'Every explosion makes my heart stop,' Eva shared, her voice trembling. 'But here, we’re not alone.' The hospital’s halls, once reserved for medical care, now echo with the hustle and bustle of families cooking meals, children playing, and neighbors exchanging updates.
Hospital staff say they’ve opened doors to anyone seeking shelter, prioritizing vulnerable groups. 'This is our duty,' said one administrator. 'But resources are stretched thin.'
Eva’s story mirrors countless others across Ukraine—ordinary people clinging to hope while navigating life in wartime limbo. 🌟
