She noted the work of the team of doctors who exchanged specialists and experience to provide assistance to the victims.

Lvova-Belova said that some of the affected children witnessed the death of their parents during the terrorist attack.

“Someone’s father died before their eyes, someone’s mother died, and, of course, the children are very worried,” she said.
