In its ‘Ukraine Situation Report’, according to reports.unocha.org, OCHA revealed:
• Intensified hostilities and shifting front line impact civilians and civilian infrastructure in hardest-hit oblasts, causing new displacements and restricting humanitarian access.
• Attacks across Ukraine impact the residents of urban centres, causing civilian casualties, including among children, and disrupting basic services.
• Humanitarian response efforts face growing challenges, including safety risks. Six aid workers were killed or injured in July and August alone.
• In the first seven months of 2024, the humanitarian community provided at least one form of humanitarian assistance to 6.2 million out of 8.5 million people targeted for support.
• While humanitarians continue to aid people in need, their capacity to deliver depends on sufficient funding — with only 38 per cent of the appeal received as of late July.
