UKRAINE: UN APPEALS FOR $5.6 BILLION TO HELP MILLIONS AFFECTED BY RELENTLESS CONFLICT

The United Nations said yesterday that $5.6 billion was needed this year to provide humanitarian aid in Ukraine and to the millions who have fled the war-ravaged country.

Nearly a year after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion, the need for aid was “enormous,” with some 21.8 million Ukrainians requiring assistance.

UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths said the war continues to cause death, destruction and displacement daily, and on a staggering scale.

He noted that more than 7,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine in the past year, and around 12,000 injured, according to UN estimates.
