Ukraine: Toll of hostilities on civilians continues to rise – OCHA Briefing | United Nations
Source: United Nations (video statements)
Briefing by Edem Wosornu, Director, Crisis Response Division, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), on the maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine.
———————————-
UN humanitarian official Edem Wosornu told Council members that humanitarian organizations, including the United Nations and partners, continue to deliver humanitarian assistance wherever access allows.
She said, “Collective centres are being expanded to host new arrivals, while inter-agency convoys deliver food, water and medical supplies to those who remain in the hardest-to-reach front-line communities.”
Wosornu highlighted that between January and September, humanitarian partners reached more than 4.2 million people – over two thirds of the target for 2025.
The UN humanitarian official underscored, “we seek sustained, predictable humanitarian access where civilians face growing humanitarian needs and have received little to no international assistance.”
She urged the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure – including humanitarian and medical personnel and assets – and for safe, predictable and unimpeded humanitarian access to all those in need.
Wosornu also stressed, “Underfunding has a human cost: 72,000 displaced people lack adequate shelter; Survivors of conflict-related related sexual violence are left without access to specialized care; An estimated 640,000 women and girls were affected by cuts to vital services, including those addressing gender-based violence; Overall, a growing mental health crisis leaves millions without psychosocial support.”

From these foundations, Brazil can emerge as the world’s first nature superpower. Learn how.
3:23 – These robot dogs are helping to manage forests in the UK: These robots are being used to build detailed maps of forests, with the aim of improving management and conservation. They have been developed as part of the #DigiForest project, which involves University of Oxford and partners across Europe.
5:00 – Countries have different starting points for the green transition: Countries vary in their wealth, the age and size of their workforces, and their access to energy, technology, investment and innovation. It makes sense, then, that they’ll all need to take different paths towards an equitable transition, especially in the midst of global economic turbulence. The World Economic Forum’s Equitable Transition Initiative has identified six core categories of countries, based on what they have in common
8:16 – Is travel and tourism a right or a privilege?: Tourism is a right, says Marina Novelli, Chair of the World Committee on Tourism Ethics at World Tourism Organization, but we need to treat it as a privilege, and that means finding a sustainable balance between the demands of tourists and those of their destinations.
