UN humanitarian agencies report that several civilians have been killed and wounded in attacks across Ukraine over the past three days. Most civilian casualties have been recorded in the Kherson, Sumy, Donetsk, and Kharkiv regions.
"Our colleagues from humanitarian organizations also note that Ukraine's energy system remains under constant strain," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a briefing in New York.
"Substations, power plants, and oil storage facilities were damaged in the Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, and Donetsk regions. The attacks temporarily cut off power to hundreds of thousands of households and businesses," he added.
With the onset of cold weather, attacks on critical infrastructure will negatively impact the already dire humanitarian situation in the country. Dujarric emphasized that UN agencies and their partners will continue to support the crisis response.
“In the first half of this year, our health partners provided essential assistance to nearly a million people, and food and livelihood programs supported more than 1.1 million displaced and vulnerable families across Ukraine,” Dujarric said.
