UN: 40% of Ukrainians will need humanitarian aid this year

More than 14.6 million Ukrainians inside the country - or about 40 percent of the total population - will need humanitarian assistance this year as Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine continues to cause death and destruction, the UN Office said. for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (KCH).

The current humanitarian situation is likely to worsen further this year if fighting continues and attacks on energy and other critical infrastructure increase, KCH said on 9 January.

According to her, the war has forced about 6.3 million Ukrainians to take refuge abroad, and at the end of this year, 5.9 million refugees from Ukraine were registered in Europe.

"Civilians are being killed and injured every day, while their homes and important infrastructure are being destroyed," KCH said.

Russia attacked regions of Ukraine with a barrage of missiles from the air on January 8, killing at least four people, injuring more than 40 others, and causing damage to civilian infrastructure and economic facilities.

The Ukrainian military said air raid sirens were sounded in most of the country, including the capital Kiev, on January 8.

"The first week of January brought a wave of attacks in Ukraine, starting from December 29 until today," she added.

The United Nations Mission in Ukraine called on the international community to do more to help Ukraine and its neighbors cope with the ongoing needs of the civilian population during the winter season./ REL
