The World Health Organisation's European chief said on Tuesday that at least 3 000 people had died in Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February because they had been unable to access treatments for chronic diseases.

So far, the UN health agency has documented some 200 attacks in Ukraine on healthcare facilities, and few hospitals are currently functioning, Hans Kluge told a regional meeting of WHO's 53 member states as well as senior agency colleagues.

Matilda Bogner, head of the UN rights monitoring mission for Ukraine, said on Tuesday she had seen mortality rates rise because of lack of access to care. At the WHO meeting, held in Copenhagen and attended by many virtually, members passed a resolution that could result in the closure of Russia's regional office and the suspension of meetings in the country.Some have criticised the WHO measures, saying they do not go far enough."Shutting the Russian European hub seems meek and mild. Putin won't care," said Lawrence Gostin, a professor at Georgetown Law in Washington, DC, who closely follows the WHO.
