Daily death and destruction continues in Ukraine, Security Council hears
The Security Council on Wednesday heard an update on the situation in Ukraine, where daily death and destruction continue to be reported.
Briefing the Council, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths said that the war has created a “humanitarian catastrophe” in Ukraine.
“The human cost is staggering: thousands of civilians killed and injured, and millions more displaced,” he said. “The destruction of civilian infrastructure has left millions without access to basic services, including water, electricity, and healthcare.”
Griffiths said that the United Nations is working with partners to provide aid to those in need, but that the security situation is making it difficult to reach all those who need assistance.
“The fighting continues to rage, and civilians continue to pay the price,” he said. “We call on all parties to do everything in their power to protect civilians and to allow humanitarian access to those in need.”
The Security Council meeting was held amid growing international concern about the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that the country is on the brink of a “humanitarian catastrophe.”
The ICRC said that the fighting has destroyed homes, schools, and hospitals. It has also caused water and electricity shortages, and made it difficult for people to access food and medical care.
The ICRC is calling on all parties to the conflict to respect international humanitarian law and to allow humanitarian organizations to provide aid to those in need.
The Security Council meeting on Ukraine was the latest in a series of meetings that the Council has held on the crisis. The Council has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and for all parties to the conflict to respect international humanitarian law.
However, the fighting in Ukraine continues, and the humanitarian situation is getting worse.
Here is a summary of the key points from Griffiths’ briefing to the Security Council:
