To escape the war, Ukrainians are using what they can, as in the case of a train turned into a mobile hospital.
One of the passengers of the train leaving the front line in war-torn Ukraine, electrician Evhen Perepelytsiapo, is receiving medical treatment from a MSF nurse.
He is among 48 injured patients to be evacuated from eastern Ukraine to the western city of Lviv and is grateful he will soon see his children again as he almost lost his life.
“Hopefully the worst is over – that after what I went through, it will be better,” said the 30-year-old, lying on a bed in one of the train carriages wrapped in a gray blanket.
The evacuation operation was the first from the east since a Russian attack killed 52 people among thousands waiting for the train at Kramatorsk’s eastern railway station on Friday. And it was the fourth organized by the Doctors Without Borders association since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
Perepelytsya told how he lost his leg from the bombings in his hometown, Hirske, in the eastern Luhansk region.
He was standing outside and he and his wife had just discussed leaving their home to join their children in the west of the country ,. “I took a step forward and when I took the second, I fell, one of the blows broke my leg,” he said.
Ukrainian authorities have in recent days urged all residents in the east of the country to flee west to be safer, as they fear Moscow will unleash the full force of its army there after obstacles encountered to take Kiev .
