The UN stated Tuesday it launched an attraction for $268 million to assist greater than 1.3 million Ukrainians in want for the approaching winter months.
“The war has severely damaged homes, energy, water, and gas infrastructure, putting millions at extreme risk during the cold season which, in Ukraine, normally starts in October running through March. Temperatures can drop as low as -30 degrees Celsius,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric instructed reporters.
Dujarric stated the UN and its companions will prioritize emergency repairs to houses in front-line communities and supply garments, heating home equipment and winter provides.
“We also prioritize repairs in displacement centers and financial aid to displaced people to ensure they can pay rent or utility bills. Aid organizations will also help with repairs to ensure municipal heating systems are working,” he stated.
“The response will build on efforts made during the last winter, when humanitarian organizations reached 2.2 million people with similar services and distributed over 4,000 generators amidst a severe energy crisis,” he added.
