She has died along with her baby five days after she was rescued, on a stretcher, by Ukrainian emergency workers and volunteers from the rubble of the building.

Those images of the woman being carried to an ambulance on a stretcher had gone around the world, epitomizing

the horror of an attack

on the most innocent of humanity.

The woman was taken to another hospital

Realizing that she was losing her baby, according to the doctors, she yelled at them: "

Kill me already!"

The attending surgeon, Timur Marin, reported that the mother had a

dislodged hip and a crushed pelvis

.

The baby was delivered by caesarean section, but without showing signs of life.

Focusing on the woman,

"more than 30 minutes of resuscitation of the mother

did not give results."

After the bombing of the Maiupol maternity hospital,

Russia denied launching attacks

on a hospital in the port city.

His ambassador to the UN, and his ambassador in London, said the images of the atrocity were "fake news".
