"I can state that on that day all the ambulances were mobilized. Our crew brought 14 persons to different hospitals. Twelve of them were poisoned by the gas attack, they were taken to the Mikhailov Hospital, one person with a leg fracture was placed to Hospital No. 5, another one - to Hospital No. 8 with a craniocerebral trauma, he was severely beaten and died several days later. Until now, no information has arrived from the hospital, nobody speaks about this case, and I've learnt that he died through my own channels," the ambulance doctor told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
