The UN\u2019s top official in the country \u2013 who also coordinates all the organization\u2019s humanitarian work there \u2013 emphasised the urgent need for peace, justice, and sustained international support.<\/p>\n<p>In October and November alone, over 2,180 civilian deaths and injuries were verified. The intense fighting has also led to a stream of evacuations, with nearly 40,000 people displaced from frontline areas in the past two months. Mr. Schmale highlighted the heightened vulnerability of marginalised groups while recounting meeting two elderly evacuees in Dnipro, who shared their despair after losing everything to the war. \u201cUnderstandably, they expressed a pessimistic outlook for a better future,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He voiced concerns for people with disabilities as he observed firsthand their plight during a visit to a transit centre. \u201cI observed how incredibly challenging it is for people with disabilities to cope with the traumas and disruptions caused by the ongoing war,\u201d he underscored. Amid the devastation, frontline humanitarian workers have continued to serve communities in crisis.<\/p>\n<p>In Donetsk, doctors and health staff, supported by the World Health Organization, provide essential healthcare in extremely harsh conditions. However, as Ukraine enters its third winter since the full-scale invasion, below-zero temperatures and systematic attacks on energy infrastructure pose significant risks. Recent strikes in late November and mid-December caused widespread blackouts, affecting millions and leaving vulnerable populations in high-rise buildings without heating, clean water, or functioning sewage systems.\u201cThe attacks have already severely worsened the dire situation for the most vulnerable populations,\u201d the coordinator warned.<\/p>\n<p>The UN\u2019s humanitarian winter response plan aims to address emergency needs, including providing solid fuel, cash assistance, and water system repairs. However, $500 million is required to fully implement these efforts by March 2025. Additionally, a broader humanitarian appeal for $2.2 billion is being prepared for 2025 to assist an estimated 12.7 million people. This includes sustaining early recovery programmes, such as education, while addressing critical emergency needs. Concluding his statement, the Resident Coordinator delivered a powerful message: \u201cWe must not normalise the war in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe guns must fall silent and there must be peace with accountability and justice served in full respect of the UN Charter and the territorial integrity of Ukraine,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/12\/1158351\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/we-must-not-normalise-the-war-in-ukraine-warns-country-coordinator\/\">\u2018We must not normalise the war in Ukraine,\u2019 warns country coordinator<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","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":[559,402,606,607,608,589],"class_list":["post-136147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ukraine","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-war"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136147","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=136147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136147\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
