The United Nations
Imagine living through a war and not being able to make a meal or heat your home; that's the reality today for thousands of Ukrainians who've seen repeated Russian attacks knock out their electricity for days at a time.
In an update from Ukraine, the UN's top aid official there, Assistant Secretary-General Matthias Schmale , reports that half the population in Kherson city, about 30,000 or more residents, have been without electricity for several days.
It's not the only city without power, he told UN News on Wednesday, while on mission to southern Ukraine:
"The big challenge is how do you support people if electricity is cut off for several days, more than a week, let's say, in a row, like is currently the case in Odesa," he said.
