In total, more than 6,000 people may require humanitarian aid, including about 200 children, Lubinets emphasized.
He also reported that he had appealed to the International Committee of the Red Cross and to Tatyana Moskalkova, the Human Rights Commissioner of the Russian Federation, regarding the need to organize a safe evacuation of the civilian population. The ICRC informed the Ukrainian ombudsman of its readiness to assist in taking the necessary measures.
Ukraine has provided the Red Cross with a consolidated list of people in need of assistance, particularly evacuation, noted Dmytro Lubinets.
On May 6, the press service of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that the humanitarian situation had worsened in certain areas of the occupied territories of the Kherson region due to Russian crimes that violate international law. Critical infrastructure there has been virtually destroyed, and there is no electricity or gas supply.
