With its donations falling and medicines and equipment running short, a Moscow children's hospice fears possible closure due to the impact of Western sanctions over Russia's military action in Ukraine. Since its creation in 2018, the House with the Lighthouse hospice has cared for around 1,000 children and young adults. Now as western countries have imposed increasingly tough sanctions over the last month, the foundation fears the worst over their impact on medicines and equipment. "If we don't get replacement parts, all of our equipment could turn into a pile of scrap," says Elena Prokopieva, director of the charity. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
