UNHCR warns of worsening conditions in Kharkiv, with 200,000 displaced amid ongoing conflict.
More than 20 000 amputations have been performed in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion by Russia in February 2022, said the WHO.
The assault has seen Russian forces achieve their largest territorial gains in Ukraine in the last 18 months. And 200 ambulances per year, on average, have been damaged or destroyed in shelling attacks, “depriving the Ukrainian people of urgent care”, he added.The UNHCR voiced concerns that conditions in Kharkiv — already home to 200,000 internally displaced people — could become even more difficult if the ground assault and aerial attacks continue.
