    As a result of the explosion of the Kakhovka HPP dam, the sanitary-epidemiological situation in a number of settlements in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson Oblast deteriorated sharply. In particular, due to the lack of access of the civilian population to proper medical care and quality water, there have been outbreaks of viral hepatitis A in households, and there is also a threat of the spread of other viral diseases. In turn, the russian occupiers do not recognize the increase in the number of diseases and, on the contrary, try to hide it. Measures to stabilize the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the Oblast are not carried out.
