The magnitude of the humanitarian catastrophe following the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine, is becoming clearer as UN humanitarians redoubled efforts to reach affected civilians with aid on Wednesday.
Homes have been flooded, forcing many to leave, and access to water, specifically clean water, is emerging as a major challenge.
In an interview with UN News, International Organization for Migration (IOM) spokesperson Olivia Headon, speaking from Kyiv, said the agency along with other humanitarian partners, had been rushing clean water supplies to areas that are receiving evacuees, "and also trying to get them to areas in the critical zone, on the banks of the Dnipro River."
