Ukraine: Humanitarian Impact Situation Report as of 3:00 p.m. (EET) on 12 March 2022
13 March 2022
- The human and socio-economic costs of the ongoing hostilities continue to mount, worsening with each passing day. Between 4 a.m. on 24 February and midnight on 11 March, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reports at least 1,581 civilian causalities, including 579 killed. The actual number of civilian casualties across Ukraine is likely much higher than officially reported by OHCHR, as many reports are still pending corroboration.
- Scores of homes, schools, hospitals and other critical infrastructure have been hit by military attacks across Ukraine. OHCHR has received credible reports of cluster munitions being used in populated areas, including at the Central City Hospital in Vuhledar in Donetska oblast (Government-controlled areas, GCA). OHCHR also reports that cluster munition attacks have been reported in several districts of Kharkiv (Kharkivska oblast, east).
- Larger scale evacuations continue to be carried out in parts of eastern and northern Ukraine, although they have been repeatedly delayed due to active hostilities in some of the hardest-hit areas, like Mariupol (Donetska oblast, east). At the same time, the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance continues to be scaled-up, reaching over 600,000 conflict- affected people whose needs continue to grow by the hour.
- With increased donor contributions to the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund, the Humanitarian Coordinator has increased the envelope of the current reserve allocation from $18 million to $30 million. The reserve allocation aims at addressing the priorities outlined in the Flash Appeal and to scale up the humanitarian response across the country. The allocation is opened until 20 March 2022. The Fund will also launch another allocation for $50 million in the coming days.
