'We are seeing images of fear, anguish and terror in every corner of Ukraine.' UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced his organization is allocating $20 million to scale up humanitarian operations in Ukraine following Russia’s invasion.
A WFP team is on the ground and ready to step in “provided that access is granted and resources are available,” he said. “We appeal to all parties to ensure that affected communities have continued access to any humanitarian support they may require and that the safety of humanitarian staff on the ground is guaranteed.”
“The Black Sea basin is one of the world’s most important areas for grain and agricultural production, and the food security impact of the conflict will likely be felt beyond Ukraine’s border, especially on the poorest of the poor,” Beasley warned in a statement. Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, said “the intensification and spread of the conflict risk a scale of death and destruction that are frightening to contemplate, given the immense military capacities involved.
The U.S. Agency for International Development said it has deployed a Disaster Assistance Response Team to respond to growing humanitarian needs stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
