Kyiv’s Military Hospital Overwhelmed with Wounded From Donbas, by Zoe Ripecky The soldiers are clothed and fed through donations from the community, explained a volunteer leader named Tanya. Even bedding and towels are donated, coming in mismatched sizes and colors. The volunteers now seek proper shoes and warmer clothing as winter nears. Along with these more straightforward supplies, necessary antibiotics are also in short supply. Many of the wounded are amputees and suffer from severe infections, including gangrene. One type of antibiotic, used to fight this often-deadly infection, costs around $75 per dose and is needed twice a day. The hospital is too underfunded to purchase it in adequate amounts.
