UN humanitarians are ramping up assistance in the aftermath of the Kakhovka dam disaster in Ukraine, as some 17,000 people find themselves in the critical zone at risk of flooding, and clean water has become scarce.
Health and security concerns are mounting fast, with flooding and the lack of clean water multiplying the risk of disease, while unexploded ordnance is being displaced by floodwater into new areas.
IOM’s spokesperson in Kyiv, Olivia Headon, has been talking to UN News’s Dominika Tomaszewska-Mortimer about the emergency response and the impact of the disaster on Ukraine’s future recovery.
