The Dhaka Times Desk The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on continuously for 9 months. Russian troops have retreated from already occupied Kherson. But because of the war, the lives of Ukrainians are under threat this winter.
While the recovery of Kherson is a major achievement for Ukraine, the World Health Organization believes that the coming winter could also spell disaster for the country.
The World Health Organization has said that the lives of millions of Ukrainian citizens could be threatened by severe power and fuel shortages this winter. The agency also said that at least 3 million people may leave their homes in the coming winter in search of safety and warmth.
Director of the European Region of the World Health Organization in a press conference in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, on Monday. According to Hans Henry P. Kluge, almost half of Ukraine's power and energy infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed by Russia's attack. Currently, at least 1 crore people of the country are living without electricity. This winter the only aim of these poor people will be to survive at any cost.'
Not only that, according to the statistics of the World Health Organization, so far Russia has carried out at least 703 attacks on health or medical institutions in Ukraine. It is believed that the temperature in some areas of Ukraine may drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius in the coming winter. In such a situation, the country's power generation centers and health institutions are damaged, so Ukrainians can be in extreme trouble.
Dr. Hans-Henry P. Kluge said Russia has targeted the energy, health and civilian infrastructure of Ukraine's capital, Kiev, and key cities in recent weeks. That's why Ukraine's healthcare system is going through the worst times right now. There is acute shortage of fuel, water and electricity to meet basic needs. Dr. Kluz said most hospitals in Ukraine need incubators in maternity wards. Refrigerators are also required for blood banks and ventilators in intensive care units. They need uninterrupted fuel or electricity supply to keep them running.
