“From Ukraine, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs tells us that over the weekend, several parts of the country came under massive attacks, resulting in multiple civilian casualties and widespread destruction. Several children were among the casualties. This is what local authorities are telling us. The capital Kyiv, along with Zaporizhzhia City and the Kyiv region, were among the most severely impacted. The World Health Organization reported that a strike yesterday on a cardiology facility in Kyiv killed a health worker and a patient. In front-line areas, the regions of Donetsk and Kherson continue to be heavily affected, and strikes on energy infrastructure in the regions of Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia and Vinnytsia disrupted the electricity supply as temperatures are dropping. Following the attacks, more than a dozen national and international Non-Governmental Organizations, with the support of UN agencies, delivered emergency assistance. They provided first medical and psychological aid, hot meals and shelter materials to cover the damage, among other support.”

Storyline

The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that over the weekend, several parts of Ukraine “came under massive attacks, resulting in multiple civilian casualties and widespread destruction,” a UN Spokesperson said.

UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq told reporters today (29 Sep) in New York, “the capital Kyiv, along with Zaporizhzhia City and the Kyiv region, were among the most severely impacted.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that a strike on Sunday (28 Sep) on a cardiology facility in Kyiv killed a health worker and a patient.

“In front-line areas, the regions of Donetsk and Kherson continue to be heavily affected, and strikes on energy infrastructure in the regions of Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia and Vinnytsia disrupted the electricity supply as temperatures are dropping,” Haq also said.

Following the attacks, more than a dozen national and international Non-Governmental Organizations, with the support of UN agencies, delivered emergency assistance, the Deputy Spokesperson said, adding “they provided first medical and psychological aid, hot meals and shelter materials to cover the damage, among other support.”
