The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on Wednesday that intense fighting in frontline areas of Ukraine continues to cause widespread destruction and force local residents to flee high-risk areas.
According to the latest report by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in the country, civilian casualties increased significantly between June and November in both frontline and urban areas – by 37 percent compared to the previous six months.
In eastern Ukraine, the Donetsk region has been hit hardest by shelling and fighting. According to local authorities, more than ten civilians have been killed and nearly 60 injured in Ukrainian-controlled areas of the region since the beginning of December. The cities of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk suffered particularly heavy damage earlier this week.
Ukrainian non-governmental organizations, with the support of UN agencies, quickly delivered emergency aid—materials to repair damaged windows and roofs—and provided psychological support to the victims.
Amid growing threats, more and more families are leaving dangerous areas of the Donetsk region, either on their own or through government-organized evacuations supported by humanitarian organizations. According to local authorities, nearly 72,000 people, including approximately 8,000 children, have left the Donetsk region since August.
Humanitarian organizations assist civilians at every stage of their journey across Ukraine – from leaving populated areas to transit centers and temporary accommodation for internally displaced persons.
Over the past two weeks, approximately 500 people have been evacuated from frontline areas of Zaporizhzhia. National NGOs have opened an inclusive temporary evacuation center to provide comprehensive support to people with disabilities and limited mobility. The project received funding from the Humanitarian Fund, managed by OCHA, and continues to support local frontline workers providing assistance to those most in need.
