KYIV — Ukrainians shivering under bombs, frost and power outages will soon get more help from a fund that funnels money to volunteers, community groups and civil society organizations, a United Nations humanitarian leader said Tuesday. “They are in the front line, taking risks to make sure people whose lives have been torn apart by months of war receive support for their daily needs: water, food, medicines, shelter when their houses have been damaged,” Denise Brown, the top U.N. official in Ukraine, said in a statement.Brown, humanitarian coordinator for Ukraine, said the work being undertaken was “impressive,” but resources were being exhausted 10 months into the war.
The funds release comes at a time when U.N. humanitarian projects face record funding gaps, with global needs from Ukraine to the drought-stricken Horn of Africa far outpacing pledges which are themselves at record highs.
