Security Council briefing by Edem Wosornu, Director of Operations and Advocacy, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), on Ukraine.

“In Kharkiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Dnipro, wave after massive wave of attacks continue to kill and injure civilians and cause widespread damage and destruction to critical civilian infrastructure. No region of Ukraine has been spared by this war.”

“I cannot underscore that the scale of humanitarian needs in Ukraine remains vast. As you know, more than 14.6 million people – 40 percent of Ukraine’s population – require some form of humanitarian assistance, 56 percent of this number, are women and girls.”

“If hostilities continue to escalate, the already dire situation for millions of people in Ukraine – and the challenges we face in responding to it – will only deepen. Tolerating war is not normal.”
