Two inter-agency convoys traveled today to affected areas, in addition to the ongoing assistance provided by the UN and our partners. In the Kherson region, our teams were in Kalynivske, which is home to nearly 1,700 people who were already facing serious humanitarian needs due to the war. This community used to have a population of 3,400 people before February 2022.”

“We delivered water, hygiene kits, bedding and shelter material, as well as food for all people in the town for a month. Enough medicine and medical supplies to treat the entire population for three months was also delivered. In the Dnipro Region, we delivered eight truckloads of critical humanitarian assistance for at least 4,000 people in two communities in the south, where 40,000 people – many of them elderly – have extremely limited access to water because of the destruction of the Dam. Our colleagues also provided emergency services, including first aid and counselling, shelter materials and dignity kits, to people affected by the attack yesterday in Odesa and the day before in Kryvyi Rih.”

“While humanitarians in Ukraine are working to provide people with the emergency aid they desperately need, we call on the international community to enable this vital operation to continue. So far this year, aid organizations in the country have received only 26 per cent of the $3.9 billion needed for the humanitarian response – with a worsening situation we need more funding to be able to respond to the needs.”

“And yesterday, in a statement, the Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, Denise Brown, said the UN has been engaging with the Governments of Ukraine and the Russian Federation regarding effective delivery of humanitarian aid to all people affected by the devastating destruction of the Kakhovka Dam. Ms. Brown noted that the Government of the Russian Federation has so far declined our request to access the areas under its temporary military control. She said that the UN will continue to engage to seek the necessary access. Ms. Brown urged the Russian authorities to act in accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian law, stressing that aid cannot be denied to people who need it.”

STORYLINE
In Ukraine, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs continues to support the response to the Kakhovka Dam destruction and two inter-agency convoys traveled today to affected areas, in addition to the ongoing assistance provided by the UN and our partners, a UN Spokesperson informed.
Briefing journalists on Monday (19 Jun) in New York, Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq said that, in the Kherson region, the teams were in Kalynivske, which is home to nearly 1,700 people who were already facing serious humanitarian needs due to the war. This community used to have a population of 3,400 people before February 2022.
Haq said, “We delivered water, hygiene kits, bedding and shelter material, as well as food for all people in the town for a month. Enough medicine and medical supplies to treat the entire population for three months was also delivered.”
In the Dnipro Region, the spokesperson informed, the UN “delivered eight truckloads of critical humanitarian assistance for at least 4,000 people in two communities in the south, where 40,000 people – many of them elderly – have extremely limited access to water because of the destruction of the Dam.”
“Our colleagues also provided emergency services, including first aid and counselling, shelter materials and dignity kits, to people affected by the attack yesterday in Odesa and the day before in Kryvyi Rih,” added the Spokesperson.
While humanitarians in Ukraine are working to provide people with the emergency aid they desperately need, Haq said the UN is calling “on the international community to enable this vital operation to continue.”
According to the Spokesperson, so far this year, aid organizations in the country have received only 26 percent of the $3.9 billion needed for the humanitarian response. He said “this happening with a worsening situation we need more funding to be able to respond to the needs.”
Haq also noted that, on Sunday, in a statement, the Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, Denise Brown, said the UN has been engaging with the Governments of Ukraine and the Russian Federation regarding effective delivery of humanitarian aid to all people affected by the devastating destruction of the Kakhovka Dam.
“Ms. Brown noted that the Government of the Russian Federation has so far declined our request to access the areas under its temporary military control. She said that the UN will continue to engage to seek the necessary access,” said the Spokesperson.
