Warning that "cold weather can kill," the World Health Organization said while 10 million Ukrainians remain without power, many face life-threatening conditions as temperatures fall — to as low as -20 degrees Celsius in some parts of the country. It is believed that another two to three million people could leave their homes to find warmth and safety over winter.
Residents talk to train station staff while waiting to be evacuated from Kherson on Nov. 21, 2022, in Kherson, Ukraine.Displaced people will be provided with free accommodation in shelters, humanitarian aid, food and medical support, she said. "The devastating energy crisis, the deepening mental health emergency, constraints on humanitarian access and the risk of viral infections will make this winter a formidable test for the Ukraine health system and the Ukrainian people, but also for the world and its commitment to support Ukraine."
There are "no immediate safety or security concerns" at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant following heavy shelling throughout the weekend, the International Atomic Energy Agency said. Grossi has repeatedly warned against fighting near the site, most recently saying that whoever was responsible for the attacks was "playing with fire."
Over the past several months, Russia has consistently attacked civilian infrastructure, including energy systems and residential buildings. "All 30 NATO countries supported the proposals of our delegation," Yehor Chernev said in the statement.
