Kharkiv City, in the northeast, was particularly affected and sustained two attacks, on August 30th and September 1st. According to authorities, 6 people were killed and 150 others were injured, including 30 children.
The UN humanitarian partners on site also noted large-scale damage to civilian infrastructure – more than 90 residential buildings, a shopping centre and sports facilities, as well as two education facilities, were damaged in the attacks.
The Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, Matthias Schmale, condemned the repeated attacks impacting residential areas and causing multiple civilian casualties.
Aid workers in Kharkiv mobilized immediately and provided medical and psychosocial support. They organized the delivery of hot meals for both impacted people and rescuers.
In the last two days, more than a dozen non-governmental organization delivered repair materials and covered over 400 shattered windows. Our partners also started the registration process for cash assistance. Humanitarian support continues today.
