According to the report, more than 14,000 civilians have lost their lives, 17.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and 7.5 million Ukrainian refugees have been displaced.
A report by the World Health Organization on the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, which states that more than 14,000 civilians have lost their lives, 17.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and 7.5 millions of Ukrainian refugees have been displaced across Europe.
The Russian side, through its WHO representative, was quick to denounce the report as “politicized” and “one-sided”, and the related accusations against Russian forces as “baseless”. Washington, on the other hand, requested that the relevant report be updated to include what has taken place since September 2022.
The report by WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was presented to the Organization’s executive board, which includes Russia and the United States, and covered events in the first nine months of 2022. It assesses the situation in Ukraine as “acute” and “emergency”. .
The same report states that of the 471 heavy weapon attacks on healthcare facilities worldwide, 448 occurred in Ukraine. Moscow, however, has denied targeting civilians in Ukraine since it launched its invasion.
“Russia’s attacks … unspeakable harm to civilians and vital infrastructure in Ukraine … This senseless death and destruction brutally impedes access to vital health care for children, the elderly and other vulnerable groups,” the US side complained via its representative to the United Nations.
