HIGHLIGHTS
-
The humanitarian situation in Izium and Kupiansk towns, in Kharkivska oblast, Ukraine, is extremely concerning following months of intense hostilities that have left behind a path of destruction.
-
In Izium, essential services have been decimated, leaving between 8,000 and 9,000 people who remain in the town completely dependent on humanitarian aid to survive, according to UN agencies.
-
In Kupiansk, shelling and hostilities are forcing over 4,000 people who remain in the town to spend most of their time in bunkers and basements, with extremely limited access to vital items.
-
Overall, 140,000 people are believed to remain in the areas of Kharkivska oblast where the Government of Ukraine recently regained control from the Russian Federation forces.
-
Humanitarian organizations are mobilizing resources, and started deliveries of life-saving items just a few days after the Russian Federation troops withdrew from the areas.
