Over the past two days, massive attacks on major Ukrainian cities have caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure and disrupted power supplies amid the approaching cold snap, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on Thursday.
According to Ukrainian authorities, at least 90 civilian deaths and injuries were recorded across the country from September 30 to October 2. A large-scale attack in Dnipro on September 30 injured more than 30 people, including a child, and damaged numerous residential buildings.
In the northern and northeastern regions – Chernihiv, Kyiv, and Sumy – the strikes left nearly 300,000 people without power. The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy also reported a temporary disruption to the power supply, which is critical for maintaining safe conditions at the deactivated Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
In the Odesa region, the aftermath of the attacks was exacerbated by heavy rains, which caused widespread flooding. According to authorities, 10 people died, including a family with a child who had previously been forced to flee their home. The UN Humanitarian Coordinator in the country, Matthias Schmale, expressed his condolences to all those who lost loved ones and commended the prompt efforts of the Ukrainian Red Cross and local authorities.
To help those affected by the floods and strikes, more than a dozen Ukrainian and international non-governmental organizations, with the support of UN agencies, mobilized emergency assistance, providing medical, psychological, and legal support, as well as shelter materials.
OCHA reminds that in order to provide assistance to the most vulnerable people in Ukraine, the humanitarian community needs stable support from donors.
