“Residents of Ukrainian cities that are besieged by russians face starvation” – the statement of WFP UN
WFP Executive Director David Beasley visited Bucha
The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has called on to give them access to the residents of the besieged Ukrainian cities, as they could face starvation.
This was stated in a statement by WFP.
According to WFP data, WFP has so far delivered food assistance to 1.4 million people in Ukraine and is ramping up to reach 2.3 million people by the end of April. But this requires getting safe access to cities like Mariupol, where more than 100,000 people are believed to be trapped.
The situation is growing more complex because of the fact that over 7 million people are displaced inside Ukraine and the pre-conflict supply chain systems for feeding the country’s population have broken down in many areas. According to WFP estimates there are approximately 60 percent of displaced people who are worried about finding enough to eat.
“We’re calling on everyone to give us the access we need to reach the people in besieged cities. It’s one thing when people are suffering from the devastation of war. It’s another thing when they’re being starved to death,” said WFP Executive Director David Beasley.
