As a result of strikes across Ukraine since yesterday, at least 15 civilians have died and nearly 90 others, including seven children, have been injured. This was reported on Thursday by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), citing Ukrainian authorities.
Attacks by Russian armed forces continue to claim the lives of civilians, as well as disrupt the operations of vital services and humanitarian organizations.
According to the UHGC, the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions suffered the most. In the capital, residential buildings, a medical facility, six ambulances, and metro infrastructure were damaged.
Victims are reported in the frontline regions, as well as in the Cherkasy region in the center of the country and in the Ternopil and Lviv regions in the west. In the city of Uman in the Cherkasy region, the university and a dormitory were damaged. Power supply has been disrupted in several regions due to the strikes.
Humanitarian operations disrupted
Ongoing attacks also affect the work of humanitarian organizations, the UNHCR notes. Yesterday, a drone strike in the Donetsk region seriously damaged a vehicle clearly marked with the humanitarian organization’s insignia. The staff were unharmed, but the humanitarian mission “Proliska” was forced to suspend the evacuation of residents from Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.
Partner organizations, with the support of UN agencies, continue to assist affected residents of Ukraine. They provide materials for urgent housing repairs and hot meals, register people to receive financial aid, and offer psychosocial support.
Yesterday, an interdepartmental motorcade delivered medicines, hygiene kits, and cold weather preparation supplies to one of the frontline communities in the Zaporizhzhia region, access to which remains severely limited.
