UNITED NATIONS, 22nd Feb. UN humanitarians on Wednesday reported that attacks on the frontline in the Donetsk region had disrupted clean water supplies in Kramatorsk City, as the war in Ukraine marked 2 years.
UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric in New York cited the UN humanitarian affairs office said the damage had occurred after a water filtering station was hit.
The city had a pre-war population of 220,000 people, now reduced to 90,000.
The attacks caused civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure on both sides of the frontlines, according to both the Ukrainian Government and Russian-installed authorities in the occupied territory east of Kramatorsk, OCHA stated.
Mr. Dujarric said “On the humanitarian response, aid organizations immediately delivered assistance, including emergency repair materials, to communities on the Ukrainian side of the frontline”.
The humanitarians provided aid to the front-line town of Kurakhove, which has been impacted by 10 years of hostilities, after Russia’s initial annexation of territory in 2014, he said.
He added that the aid consisted of 13 tonnes of medical and hygiene supplies, including for people with disabilities, and other supplies to support civilians whose access to basic services is severely disrupted.
