Denise Brown, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, spoke remotely at a press briefing at the UN Headquarters, in New York, and said that funds are needed particularly to prepare for the approaching winter. \u201cIt is almost August, and it gets cold very early in Ukraine,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She said that humanitarians are preparing for winterization, which involves distributing quilts, fuels, stoves, and thermal insulation \u2013 to houses damaged last winter. \u201cThere is additional damage on top of what we had to deal [with since then],\u201d she added, referring to increased needs resulting from the destruction of the Kakhovka dam and attacks on major cities.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Brown spoke of her visit to Odesa, where several locations were hit in aerial strikes last week. \u201cOdesa is a very important hub for the UN and the humanitarian community,\u201d she said, noting that it is the staging area for relief supplies to flow to the locations in need. She went to the Transfiguration Cathedral, a centuries-old monument listed under UN cultural agency (UNESCO)\u2019s World Heritage List, that sustained severe damage in an attack on 23 July.<\/p>\n<p>The cathedral has a bunker and when air-raid sirens went off, many people from the neighbourhood took shelter there \u201cnot realizing that the cathedral was going to be hit,\u201d said Ms. Brown. The UN official also visited Odesa port, which was damaged in a strike. The attack took place after Russia terminated its engagement with the Black Sea Initiative, which together with a parallel accord between UN and Russia, were vital to shore up food supplies globally. \u201cThe port is a civilian infrastructure, that is the important point. Whether it is the cathedral or the port, this is civilian infrastructure used for civilians and civilian purposes,\u201d she said<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Brown also spoke of damage to civilian homes and apartments in Mykolaiv, some of which were so badly damaged that they will have to be completely pulled down. \u201cWhat I saw in Mykolaiv and what I saw in Odesa last week, with my own eyes, is being repeated across many big cities in Ukraine. This morning again an apartment building was hit, people have been killed and are under rubble,\u201d she said, recalling her statement earlier in the day.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, UN launched the $3.9 billion Humanitarian Response Plan for 2023. The Plan targets 11.1 million people for assistance. However as of end-July, it has raised only about 30 per cent of its intended total. The needs continue to rise, Ms. Brown said, citing the \u201ctotally unexpected\u201d destruction of the Kakhovka dam that led to additional needs. \u201cHumanitarian situation hasn\u2019t changed, the war continues, and it intensifies, and so do the needs. The only way to change this is for the war to stop,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2023\/07\/1139312\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/112388\/\">Ukraine: War intensifies and so do the needs, says UN relief official<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,559,402,589],"class_list":["post-115773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-ukraine","tag-un","tag-war"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115773\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
