The UN refugee agency reported the loss of about $1 million in humanitarian aid after a missile from aggressor Russia hit its warehouse in Dnepr earlier this week. The press service of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees informed about this on May 22.
According to Bernadette Castel-Hollingworth, a representative of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Kyiv, the warehouse was destroyed on May 20. It contained 900 pallets of emergency accommodation materials, including sleeping mats and hygiene kits, intended for internally displaced persons and residents of front-line regions.
The strike also killed two people.
Castel-Hollingworth said this is the first time an agency facility has been directly hit.
The organization also reported an increase in the number of attacks on humanitarian convoys. Last week, two marked UN convoys were attacked by drones in the Dnepropetrovsk and Kherson regions.
