47 bodies of civilians who spent 6 months in hospital taken from Oleshky to Henichesk, journalist says
The bodies of 47 dead civilians, who had been in the basement of the town hospital for half a year, were taken from Oleshky to Henichesk, in Russian-occupied Kherson Oblast, journalist Oleh Baturin reported on Nov. 1, citing volunteer Kseniia Arkhipova.
Forty-seven civilian bodies, who had languished in the basement of Oleshky's hospital for six months, were removed from the town and transported to Henichesk, according to journalist Oleh Baturin, citing volunteer Kseniia Arkhipova. The bodies had been stored since May 2026, a Ukrainian ombudsman confirmed. Residents of Henichesk reported to Baturin the transport of dozens of dead civilian bodies from Oleshky.
On October 28, hromadske reported that during a humanitarian mission, the bodies of those who died or were killed, stored in the hospital basement, might be taken out of the occupied town. The aggressor had blocked burials in Oleshky, requiring a death certificate and permission to bury a loved one, which meant some bodies had remained in the hospital since winter.
The humanitarian mission in Oleshky began on October 30, with the main phase after demining routes. A convoy of 25 buses with 750 seats delivered aid, and the evacuation of 750 people began. Ukrainian delegates, evacuated residents, and those wishing to leave for Russia traveled to Anapa, Russia's Krasnodar Krai, before flying to Belarus and then by bus back to Ukraine. The ceasefire remained in effect until 10:59 p.m. on November 1.
