Civilians in Ukraine Suffer Amid Ongoing Hostilities, UN Reports

Kyiv: More civilians have been killed and injured in Ukraine following recent hostilities and attacks across the country, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Tuesday in an update. Since Friday, 11 civilians have been killed and more than 90 wounded, according to the authorities. Schools and energy infrastructure also were damaged. The Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine was the most affected, with the town of Kostiantynivka particularly hard hit. Meanwhile, humanitarians continue to support people fleeing hostilities in the Donetsk and Dnipro regions.

According to United Nations, OCHA said over 2,000 people, many of them children, were evacuated from Donetsk between Friday and Monday. With growing pressure on the transit site in the town of Pavlohrad, authorities and aid organizations opened new facilities in the village of Voloske, Dnipro region, and the town of Lozova, Kharkiv region, the agency said. Evacuees receive medical and psychosocial support, hot meals, water and hygiene supplies, and can register for cash assistance before moving on to safer areas. At the same time, humanitarians are also supporting arrivals in other parts of Ukraine.
