UNITED NATIONS, 28th Oct. UN said on Friday that humanitarian operations continue to deliver life-saving assistance in Ukraine, after ongoing attacks across Ukraine.

UN inter-agency convoy reached the front-line community of Huliaipole, located in the Zaporizhzhia region, bringing medicine, shelter kits, hygiene items and other assistance to support some 2,000 people.

UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric spoke with reporters in New York said that the town has suffered large-scale destruction and remains without power, water and gas.

“Today’s humanitarian convoy was the 13th this year to the Zaporizhzhia Region. The UN and our partners have reached nearly 30,000 people there just in the past 10 months,” he said.

NGOs delivered UN shelter materials in western Ukraine, after an attack that damaged hundreds of homes, dozens of schools, and other civilian facilities in the Khmelnytskyi Region.  Scores of residents were reportedly injured.

Mr. Dujarric said the supplies will cover damaged roofs and windows to protect residents as the winter approaches.

The Ukrainian Red Cross and national NGOs also delivered emergency assistance, with partners providing legal and mental health support to affected families.
