    "subtitle": "16 April 2026 - Another devastating night of attacks across Ukraine. So far, reports indicate at least 15 people killed, including a child, following Russian strikes. More than 100 people were injured in Kyiv, Odesa and Dnipro.",

    "body": "<p style=\"text-align: left\">Among the injured were emergency ambulance state workers in Kyiv, wounded while responding to save lives. Repeated strikes increase the danger for first responders and civilians alike. People are not safe &mdash; not in their homes, and not even when receiving or providing help. In Kyiv, strikes hit several areas, including a district adjacent to where MSF has its office and guesthouses. Our teams are safe. Staff took shelter. </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&ldquo;Last night, all our 90 MSF staff in Kyiv &mdash; along with their families and friends &mdash; were exposed to a mixture of fear and anxiety,&rdquo; says Robin Meldrum, MSF Country Director in Ukraine.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&ldquo;In district where our office is based, missile explosions shook buildings. Even over 1 km away, you could feel it in your body. People living directly nearby must have been terrified.&rdquo; MSF extends its deepest condolences to the families of those killed and wishes a safe recovery to all those injured.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&ldquo;Last night&rsquo;s attack reflects the daily reality for millions of people across Ukraine, who continue to face relentless and unacceptable attacks affecting civilians, healthcare and essential infrastructure&rdquo;, says Robin Meldrum.</p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n        data-component=\"image-zoom-popup\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-selector=\".release-content-image__image\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-i18n=\"data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0=\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-views-event=\"Story Image View\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event=\"Story Image Download\"\n        data-image-zoom-popup-placement=\"content\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"image-thumbnail-rollover\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n            <img\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/abc7cb14-a5c4-4ea3-808c-5029ef88468f/-/format/auto/\"\n                                class=\"release-content-image__image image-thumbnail-rollover__image\"\n                data-description=\"&amp;copy;
