Russia has perpetrated a staggering 1762 attacks on health care facilities, workers, and infrastructure since the start of its full-scale invasion three years ago.

Meanwhile, the United States has frozen funding for vital health and humanitarian programs that support the Ukrainian people, including survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and torture.

Join PHR in acting now. Tell President Trump and his administration to immediately restore life-saving funding for Ukraine and other regions in need.

To President Donald Trump:

Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) and its supporters are alarmed by the U.S. administration’s decision to freeze critical health and humanitarian funding to Ukraine and other regions in need throughout the world.,

As data from PHR and its partners shows, Russia has bombarded Ukraine’s health care system, with a staggering 1762 attacks on health care since the start of its full-scale invasion three years ago. Medics are being disappeared and tortured; children’s hospitals have been bombed; and surgeons work by flashlight due to Russian attacks on the power grid.

Ukraine’s health and aid workers have been a lifeline for the country, saving countless lives over the past three years. Yet 92 percent Ukrainian health care workers researchers surveyed reported experiencing power outages at their health care facility due to attacks on energy infrastructure.

It is unthinkable that at this time of grave peril, the U.S. would freeze the vast majority of its health and humanitarian aid as well as support for survivors of sexual violence and torture and accountability measures for these crimes.

I join PHR in calling on the U.S. to immediately restore this funding that has served as a critical lifeline against Russia’s war of aggression.

Ukraine’s doctors and nurses have endured power cuts, bomb blasts, and targeted threats. They care for patients no matter what. We should learn from their resolve, not abandon it.

Signed,
