2023-06-19 07:52:25 UN: Moscow blocks access to affected areas after dam collapse
The UN have declared that the Russia denied humanitarian aid access to occupied areas affected by flooding caused by the collapse of the Nova Kakhovka dam earlier this month. “The United Nations has engaged with the governments of Ukraine and the Russian Federation regarding the delivery of humanitarian aid to all those affected by the devastating destruction of the Kakhovka Dam,” he said. Denise Brown, UN humanitarian coordinator for Ukraine, adding that Russia has so far refused the UN request for access to areas under its occupation. The UN urged Russian authorities “to act in accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian law” and said the UN would continue to seek necessary access to affected areas occupied by Russia. The death toll from the dam collapse has risen to at least 45 people, Organization officials said. The floods also carried dirty water downstream and off the southern coast, posing serious health risks. Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for international support to help rescue victims of the dam collapse in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine and accused Russia of not providing “any real help to people in flooded areas.” In the occupied territory, it is possible to help people only in some areas: the Russian terrorists – he added – are doing everything to make the greatest possible number of victims of the disaster ».
