After the war began, the hospital set up a shelter in the basement including a room with beds for mothers and cots for newborns. (Photo by Genya SAVILOV / AFP)

Zaporiyia. Tres días después del inicio de la invasión rusa de Ucrania, Marina supo que estaba embarazada. Ahora, esta mujer de 30 años y su marido, se aprovisionan de comprimidos de yodo por temor a una catástrofe en la cercana central nuclear de Zaporiyia.

“Queríamos un niño (...) Pero no sabíamos si había que alegrarse o no” al conocer el embarazo, recordó Marina. “Mi marido dijo: ‘Tenemos que estar realmente contentos. Dios nos lo da, así que todo irá bien’”, contó.
