The Russia-Ukraine conflict is now approaching its three-year anniversary, and the humanitarian situation remains dire. Elisabeth Haslund, spokesperson for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Ukraine, has called for sustained humanitarian support to address the escalating crisis.
Haslund highlighted the severe impact on civilians, noting that over 3,600 schools have been damaged amid the ongoing hostilities. This disruption has not only affected education but also the overall stability of communities across the region.
\"It's crucial to remember the human toll of this conflict,\" Haslund emphasized. \"While political discussions about Ukraine's post-conflict future are important, we must not overlook the immediate needs of those affected by the war.\"
The UNHCR continues to work tirelessly to provide assistance to displaced families and support the rebuilding of essential infrastructure. However, the spokesperson stressed that increased support from the international community is necessary to effectively address the growing humanitarian needs.
As the war drags on, the focus remains on ensuring that civilians receive the help they need and that efforts are made to restore stability and normalcy to the lives of those impacted by the conflict.
