OPERATIONAL CONTEXT:
• According to Ukraine’s Prime Minister, all thermal and hydroelectric power plants have been damaged by the recent waves of Russian strikes targeting the country’s power grid. Forty percent of highvoltage network facilities also have suffered damage.
• Two humanitarian NGOs were hit during attacks on Donetsk city on 8 December, in the part of Ukraine currently under the temporary military control of the Russian Federation. Aid workers were there preparing packages of aid for distribution. Humanitarians are not a target.
• Over 1 million people have now been reached with winter support and 55 generators have been delivered to critical facilities. (More on pg.4.) UNHCR is striving to reach more people in the country with services and supplies that will keep them warm and protected during the winter.
• UNHCR is working closely with local and national actors to implement our assistance programmes in a way that reinforces national ownership and sustainability and supports the recovery and durable solutions of IDPs, returnees and conflict-affected people.
