Life in Mykolaiv Under Shelling
- Description:
- The description on the image reads, "On March 29, 2022, Mykolaiv was heavily shelled by the Russians. A resident shares her experience of being in the hospital with her sick father during the shelling: "The hospital called my dad to go for chemotherapy, so we made our way there. As we arrived, we witnessed the aftermath of the arrivals - sick people, who somehow managed to reach the hospital despite the ongoing gunfire. The explosions continued relentlessly, but the patients stood there, patiently waiting for assistance from the doctors. The girls from the hospital did their best to help and offer moral support. While driving home from chemotherapy with my dad, a deafening shock shook the city. It felt as if half of the city had been impacted. A rocket had hit the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration. For more than 70 years, I had been attending the Mykolaiv Regional Economic Court, which was situated in that building on the 8th and 9th floors. Later, I saw a photo of a girl named Nastya in the media, who worked in the court, and I immediately recognized her as the friendly girl who always greeted me with kindness in her eyes and warm greetings. God bless her. She remains vivid in my mind - an embodiment of brightness and kindness - Nastya, the young girl". Reuse permission: Professor Anasstasia Fedyk-UC Berkeley, The AI for Good Foundation.
