The World Health Organization (WHO) recently detailed three things that Ukrainian civilians must prioritize to survive the upcoming winter, as the nation's war with Russia continues to rage.
"In just 10 days from now, we will mark 8 months of relentless war in Ukraine," WHO Regional Director for Europe Dr. Hans Henri P. Kluge said on Friday. "The escalation of the humanitarian emergency requires an escalation of the humanitarian response. Let me clearly state: WHO is there to stay—to stay and support the Ministry of Health, under the leadership of Health Minister Dr. Viktor Liashko, and to stay and support our more than 150 health partners on the ground."
The remarks by Kluge come amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine where fighting has continued in numerous different parts of Ukraine. Kluge noted in his remarks that this week, Russian military forces attacked "Kyiv, Dnipro and other cities nationwide," which include large civilian populations.
