“Turning to Ukraine, our humanitarian colleagues tell us that they successfully delivered a new inter-agency convoy of vital supplies to the people of Kherson today, in addition to supplies that have been delivered last week. This is the second inter-agency convoy to Kherson in one week, following the mission that entered the city last Monday, less than 72 hours after it was retaken by the Government of Ukraine. Today’s 13-truck convoy prioritized the most urgent humanitarian needs of the more than 100,000 people who remain in the city.”

“As the Humanitarian Coordinator, Denise Brown, said to you last week, people in Kherson are facing tremendous challenges to access food, water, electricity, and heating, as well as health care. Recent attacks on the city and other areas of the Kherson region, including today, might lead to further needs. Hospitals in Kherson will now have enough medical kits to treat 100,000 patients for three months and additional supplies for women and girls’ reproductive health. The convoy also brought supplies for surgery, chronic diseases, and trauma, as most health centres lack essential medicines and medical supplies.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Our humanitarian colleagues also brought one week’s worth of food for nearly 2,500 people, water for more than 10,000 people, blankets, sleeping bags, and other supplies to nearly 500 families. They delivered nearly 2,300 solar lamps, which will help people in Kherson to have light at home as the city is cut off from energy supply, as well as hygiene items. More than 1,200 women will also receive dignity kits, which include clothes and female hygiene products.”
