Situation is critical, but it can be even worse: European Commission warned about threat of hunger in Ukraine

The European Commission in connection with the ongoing combat actions in Ukraine warned about the threat of hunger in this country.

“People in the besieged cities are located in apocalyptic conditions: no food, no water, no medical care and no exit,” said the European Commissioner to resolve crises and humanitarian aid Yanese Lenarchich in an interview with Welt Am Sonntag, his words leads Deutsche Welle .

According to Lenarchik, the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine has already reached a critical point, but the situation can be even worse. “This ruthless invasion began more than three weeks ago, but we are already starting to see what is approaching hunger,” said Eurocomissar.

Janoze Lenarchich said that medical facilities face great difficulties in obtaining vital goods. “A colossal problem is access. The provision of humanitarian access without any obstacles is a duty,” he said, adding that the EC expands its humanitarian assistance along with partners in the field. “But so far the fighting continues and the cessation of fire will not be achieved, access to people in need of vital assistance is impossible,” the politician stressed.
