 Body of the unknown boy was unwillingly located in the ambulance garage near the emergency entrance and covered on top with a piece of slate.
 Because of the air raid siren, it was dangerous to transfer the dead child’s body instantly to the pathology department, which is in another building of the hospital.


 身元不明の少年の遺体は、残念ながら救急出入口近くの救急車の車庫に安置し、上から目隠し板で覆うことしかできなかった。
 空襲警報のサイレンが鳴り響いていて、すぐに遺体を病院の別棟にある病理部に運ぶのは危険だったためだ。

 On 26th of February, 5 civilian citizens were delivered to the hospital OHMATDYT, who have found themselves under the shelling while they were driving the car. One child was already dead at the time of admission to the hospital, and the other two children and two adults had head and limb injuries. They were treated immediately.
 As the relatives were in critical condition and there was no way to get the child’s data, the patient in the photo was registered as ‘Unknown’. His body was unwillingly located in the ambulance garage near the emergency entrance and covered on top with a piece of slate. Because of the air raid siren, it was dangerous to transfer the dead child’s body instantly to the pathology department, which is in another building of the hospital.
 2月26日、5人の市民が車を運転中に砲撃に遭い、OHMATDYT病院に搬送された。子ども1人は搬送された時点ですでに死亡しており、他の子ども2人と大人2人は頭と手足を負傷していた。直ちに彼らの処置が開始された。
 家族も重体であり、子供の情報を入手する方法がなかったため、写真の患者は『身元不明』として登録された。遺体は不本意ながら救急車庫に安置され、上から目隠し板で覆うことしかできなかった。空襲警報のサイレンが鳴り響いていて、すぐに遺体を病院の別棟にある病理部に運ぶのは危険だったためだ。
