Twins premature have been transported safely from a hospital in Kiev, Ukraine to Poland while the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The rescue mission of the twins was carried out with the help of two doctors from Kiev
Project DYNAMO, a nonprofit organization american of civilian rescue and allies based in Tampa. He launched a mission that successfully evacuated twin babies and a girl from Kiev on Monday, March 7.
The rescue mission, which the organization calls “GEMINI,” was carried out with the help of two doctors, two specialists in neonatology. As well as a Ukrainian nurse and ambulance crew, and it comes 11 days after Russia launched its attack on Ukraine.
The capital of Ukraine, Kiev, remains a active war zone while Russian forces continue to bomb. As a result, many families have evacuated the city and the country.
In a press release, Project DYNAMO wrote that the rescue volunteers reported that they heard bombing “within earshot of the hospital.” During his game.
“During operational planning and execution, I was anxious because premature babies, under the best of circumstances in the best of hospitals, are fragile and vulnerable.” Bryan Stern, co-founder of Project DYNAMO, told Fox News Digital. “When we put them in a war zone surrounded by Russian artillery and troops, that presents a complicated medical situation and makes it that much more frightening.”
“From an evacuation perspective, having to move these fragile babies through these war zones in a vehicle is fraught with peril and danger. I am overwhelmed with joy and happiness to be able to help the family in giving birth to Lenny and Moishe,” Stern continued. “The Project DYNAMO team, along with others, worked together to deliver these bundles of joy to two happy families. Once the operation was complete, with happy parents, I felt like a delivery room doctor introducing children to their parents for the first time.
The rescue mission “GEMINI”
So far, the organization reports that 150 civilians they have been rescued in 14 missions.
The nonprofit organization has received more than 14,000 requests for people evacuation from around the world in connection with the Russia-Ukraine war, including the US, UK, Canada, France, Romania, Nigeria, Mexico, and Afghanistan.
Evacuation requests also come from “citizens and residents of other European nations”Project DYNAMO wrote in its statement, “many of which include children and the elderly and members of the Jewish community in Ukraine.”
UNICEF estimates “hundreds of thousands” of Ukraine evacuees are children
Updated United Nations evacuation figures indicate that more than two million people have fled Ukraine since Russia launched its attack on the country on February 24, 2022.
A Monday press release from UNICEF says that “Hundreds of thousands” of Ukraine evacuees are children and many of them “are unaccompanied or have been separated from their parents or relatives.”
As the fight between Russia and Ukraine shows no signs of slowing down at the moment, Project DYNAMO informs that it will continue with the evacuation operations.
