The UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, Matthias Schmale, has expressed growing concerns about the humanitarian crisis caused by the ongoing conflict and targeted attacks on energy infrastructure. Recent strikes have left millions without power amid freezing temperatures.
The UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, Matthias Schmale, has raised significant concerns over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, which continues to be exacerbated by the ongoing war and attacks on critical energy infrastructure.
Recent strikes have caused widespread blackouts, leaving millions of people vulnerable, particularly as freezing temperatures increase risks for those living in high-rise buildings without access to heating, clean water, and sewage systems.
Schmale warned that the deepening energy crisis could lead to further displacement within Ukraine, with potential cross-border migration becoming a growing concern.
In addition to highlighting the dangers faced by those in Ukraine’s cities, Schmale also pointed to the plight of civilians in territories temporarily occupied by Russian forces.
“Allow me also to mention my concern as humanitarian coordinator for the plight of civilians in the temporarily occupied territories. We should not forget them,” Schmale said. “I saw humanitarian actors implementing what we're calling the humanitarian winter response plan to address emergency needs by delivering solid fuel, providing cash for winter to ensure people can stay warm, and ensuring water systems continue to work.”
As the crisis deepens, international aid agencies continue to provide essential support to Ukrainians affected by the ongoing conflict and energy shortages.
