Russian occupants killed nearly 400 civilians in Ukraine – UN
Ukrainians continue dying at the hands of Russian invaders.
From 4 a.m. February 24 until midnight March 5, 1,123 civilian casualties including 364 killed people have been recorded. The actual number of civilian casualties is likely to be higher as data on civilian deaths and injuries continue coming in.
The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reports that about 500,000 children have already left Ukraine. Since the closure of schools across the country, the access to education has been restricted to some 5.7 mln. children and adolescents.
Despite access problems, the Ukrainian government, the UN agencies, and humanitarian aid partners continue rapidly scaling up aid activities inside Ukraine where it is possible from security perspective.
It is absolutely essential to make a pause in hostilities in Ukraine to allow safe passage for civilians from Mariupol, Kharkiv, and Sumy, as well as all other places affected by the conflict, and to ensure the delivery of vital humanitarian supplies for those who remain”, the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights notes in a statement.
Moreover, the war unleashed by Russia has brought the number of refugees from Ukraine to exceed 1.5 mln. people, according to the UN report made on Sunday.
