16 Million Ukrainians Needs humanitarian Aid

The UN’s humanitarian coordinator in Ukraine has warned that millions of people inside the country are now in need of humanitarian aid as Russia continues to press on with its offensive.

“Almost 16 million people in Ukraine today need humanitarian assistance: water, food & health services,” Osnat Lubrani told a news conference.

She added it was “extremely difficult if not … E, ” for humanitarian groups to access areas that are no longer under Kyiv’s control.

Lubrani also said more than 5.3 million Ukrainians have fled abroad because of the conflict and warned the UN’s casualty figures of “almost 5,000 civilians killed and more than 5,000 injured” were “just a fraction of the frightening reality.”
