Ukraine: Situation Report, 3 Aug 2022 [EN/UK/RU]

Highlights

• Far from abating, active fighting in Donetska oblast and intensifying attacks on the southern port city of Mykolaiv are exacerbating the severity and scale of humanitarian needs.

• Raging hostilities in Donetska oblast prompted local authorities to launch compulsory mass evacuation of remaining residents.

• Across Ukraine, nearly 370,000 people were newly internally displaced between 23 June and 23 July, while a new wave of displacement is expected before the cold sets in.

• Meanwhile, the first commercial ship since 26 February left the port of Odesa on 1 August. Two days later, the ship was cleared to proceed to its final destination in Lebanon.

• Humanitarians continue to support people in urgent need, including those close to the front line. As of 4 August, 11.7 million people were reached with some form of assistance.
