While leading a humanitarian convoy to Kherson today, the Head of the United Nations in Ukraine Denise Brown could see first-hand how constant shelling is impacting evacuations and the work of local volunteers &amp; aid workers to support people in desperate need. "It is unacceptable."

A humanitarian convoy carrying hygiene items, medications, and other aid to war-torn Bilozerka in the #Kherson Region was attacked this morning. 📹 Watch Andrea de Domenico, Head of OCHA Ukraine, who accompanied the convoy, speak from the site🔻

On this day 3 years ago, the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam left thousands of people without homes and disrupted the water supply for millions. Today, the #Kherson region remains in dire need of humanitarian support. More from Humanitarian Coordinator Matthias Schmale 📹

Over the last 48 hours, two waves of large-scale attacks by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation struck across Ukraine, bringing loss and destruction. Civilians are #NotATarget and must be protected. More from Humanitarian Coordinator a.i., Bernadette Castel-Hollingsworth:

“Although it’s terrifying to live here, they are trying to get back home.” Liubov explained to us how her neighbours are going back to war-torn Chasiv Yar, after facing challenges to make ends meet in other parts of Ukraine. The United Nations is delivering supplies to help them cope.

The people of 📍#Dnipro City suffered from multiple strikes in the last days. Civilians were killed or injured, including children, many were left without homes. 🎥Humanitarian Coordinator for #Ukraine Denise Brown was there today, speaking from the site of Friday's attack.

On 5 May, Humanitarian Coordinator Matthias Schmale accompanied a convoy to Sviatohirsk in the #Donetsk Region, witnessing the destruction of a place where people used to come to enjoy life. United Nations and partners delivered vital aid to support remaining residents despite the risks.

"Violations of international humanitarian law, which clearly this appears to be, need to be investigated. Justice and accountability need to be upheld." Denise Brown visited Pokrovsk, where homes and a playground were hit by two Russian strikes 36 hours ago. She told us more:

Yesterday, 3 aid convoys reached front-line communities in #Dnipro, #Kharkiv &amp; #Kherson Regions, where hostilities continue &amp; access to basics is very limited. Humanitarians delivered first aid &amp; hygiene kits, food &amp; other aid. In Kharkiv Region, a lawyer provided legal support.

Residents in north-east #Ukraine remain impacted by ongoing attacks. Humanitarian Coordinator Matthias Schmale, who visited #Sumy, called on the international community to sustain support as civilians continue to suffer the pain of loss and devastation.

Humanitarians assist civilians leaving front-line areas of #Ukraine along the entire evacuation journey to safety. Yet, they themselves need support to help the most vulnerable. Learn more from Edem Wosornu, UN Humanitarian, &amp; Matthias Schmale visit to a transit site in the #Kharkiv Region.

“66 million people would have been fed for a day with that grain.” Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine Denise Brown was shocked to see the level of destruction left by Russia’s attack on Izmail Port. The strike damaged thousands of tons of grains.

The catastrophic effects of the flooding that followed the Kakhovka Dam destruction add to the immense human suffering caused by Russia's war on Ukraine. The United Nations &amp; NGOs are working closely with authorities &amp; volunteers and reaching more people every day. Denise Brown explains:
