KYIV – The Government of Croatia donated €1 million to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today to help farmers and food producers resume work in regions most affected by explosive remnants of war.
STATEMENT BY THE HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR FOR UKRAINE, DENISE BROWN, ON THE STRIKE THAT HIT A HOSPITAL IN KHERSON
I visited the Port of Izmail today and was shocked to see the level of destruction left by the Russian strikes on grain storage facilities on 2 August. The thousands of tons of grains that were damaged would have been enough to feed approximately 66 million people for a day.
I am profoundly disturbed by the latest Russian strikes that hit residential buildings and other civilian places in Pokrovsk, in the Donetsk region, yesterday evening, killing and injuring scores of civilians. It is absolutely ruthless to hit the same location twice in the space of minutes, causing the death and injury of people who had quickly come to help the survivors – including rescue workers from the State of Emergency Service of Ukraine. They are front-line responders, helping people in their most difficult times and must be respected.
Following repeated attacks on Odesa at the end of July, UNESCO undertook a preliminary assessment of the damage to cultural heritage, estimated at over 50 impacted sites. Releasing new emergency funds, the Organization will conduct new urgent protection measures and studies of impact, required to inform stabilization and consolidation.
