In the temporarily occupied Oleshky community there is a critical situation with the burial of the dead: the morgue in the city has been without electricity for three years, and people are often buried without proper procedures.
This was reported on the “Vhoru” broadcast by the head of the Oleshky Military-Civil Administration, Tetyana Hasanenko.
According to her, even obtaining a death certificate is a major problem. Due to the inability to carry out the necessary medical procedures, the bodies of the deceased often cannot be officially documented.
“People are often buried within the city simply in plastic bags, without any funeral services,” Hasanenko said.
She also noted that the community is acutely short of medical personnel, particularly qualified specialists. In practice, medical assistance is almost unavailable.
According to the head of the Oleshky Military-Civil Administration, sometimes the bodies of the dead are brought to the morgue on wheelbarrows, where they remain. The morgue itself was recently damaged by shelling. There has been no electricity there for about three years, and the possibility of temporarily storing bodies currently exists only because of the winter air temperature.
Remember, in the temporarily occupied town of Oleshky on the left bank of Kherson region there is not a single operating pharmacy left.
