Russian strikes have cut off power across Ukraine, including many hospitals.

The power outages added more pressure on the country's already weakened healthcare system. Medical operations, or surgeries, are being delayed. Patient records are unavailable because of internet outages.
停电给该国本已疲弱的医疗保健增加了更多压力系统。医疗手术或外科手术被推迟。由于互联网中断，患者记录不可用。
 
Dr. Oleh Duda was in the middle of a complex surgery at a hospital in Lviv, Ukraine, when he heard explosions. Moments later, the lights went out.

Duda had to keep working with only a headlamp for light. The lights came back three minutes later but those "fateful minutes could have cost the patient his life," the surgeon told The Associated Press.
Duda 不得不只用头灯照明继续工作。三分钟后灯又亮了，但外科医生告诉美联社，那“决定性的几分钟可能会让病人丧命”。
 
The operation took place on November 15. That day, the city in western Ukraine suffered outages as Russia launched missiles at Ukraine's energy supply. The attacks damaged nearly 50 percent of the country's energy facilities.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said last week that Ukraine's health system is facing "its darkest days in the war so far." The organization noted the growing energy crisis, the beginning of cold winter weather and other difficulties.

Dr. Hans Kluge is the WHO's director for Europe. He said that 2 million to 3 million more people could leave their homes in search of warmth and safety. He said that could cause more health difficulties, including spreading infections like COVID-19, pneumonia and flu.

Attacks have hit hospitals and other health centers in southeastern Ukraine, too. The WHO said in a statement that they have confirmed at least 703 attacks since the war began.

Across Kherson, it starts to get dark after 4 p.m. in late November. So, doctors are using headlamps, phone lights and flashlights to work. In some hospitals, important equipment no longer works.

Health Minister Viktor Liashko said on Friday that there are no plans to shut down any of Ukraine's hospitals, no matter how bad the situation gets.
卫生部长 Viktor Liashko 周五表示，无论情况变得多么糟糕，都没有关闭乌克兰任何一家医院的计划。
 
Liashko said that generators have been provided to all hospitals. There will be 1,100 more generators sent by the country's Western allies in the coming weeks. A generator is a machine that uses fuel to create electricity. And the hospitals have enough fuel to last seven days.
