OPERATIONAL CONTEXT:
• Country-wide air attacks have further intensified over the past two weeks. On 13 May, the premises of a WFP-contracted bakery in Mykolaiv were hit, causing damage to buildings and vehicles used to store and deliver bread for thousands of families in the region. On 16 May, Kyiv was again hit by a missile and drone attack which Ukrainian officials noted as 'exceptionally dense.'
• A grave humanitarian crisis is rapidly unfolding in the front-line areas of Donetska oblast where civilians are enduring heavy fighting and hostilities that have escalated over the past two months. UN and humanitarian partners have reached some 120,000 people in these communities with much-needed assistance this year however, many more still lack access to basic necessities like food, water, and health care.
• During the briefing to the UN Security Council on 15 May, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator noted that the humanitarian operating environment in Ukraine remains complex and dangerous. He stressed that despite this “humanitarian workers continue to deliver assistance across Ukraine, with nearly 3.6 million people receiving humanitarian assistance in Ukraine in the first quarter of 2023.”
