JAKARTA - The US Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, presented horrific facts at the UN Security Council Meeting on the Humanitarian Crisis in Ukraine. The situation described in Ukrainian cities is so dire as bodies strewn about.
"AP reporters on the ground showed the world the mass graves in Mariupol – narrow ditches filled with children's bodies," said Linda Thomas-Greenfield in the video seen by the editor, Friday 18 March.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield said officials in Ukraine had asked citizens not to ever evacuate the bodies lying on the streets. Don't just evacuate, let alone hold a funeral.
"Because it's too dangerous with bombs and bullets to hold a funeral," he continued.
Millions of people have already left Ukraine in waves. Creating a very serious humanitarian crisis with the dominance of these refugees are mostly women and children.
"They put their lives in their backpacks and left their homes and everything they knew. Today, many of them know that their apartment buildings and streets have been bombed to rubble. And the horrors continue for those who remain in Ukraine. ' he said in a very serious tone.
"I just met with the leaders of Ukrainian civil society. They reported that people standing in rows of bread, trying to get food to feed their families, were shot dead by Russian soldiers. They reported on the terrors that Russia is carrying throughout Ukraine to the Ukrainian people," he continued.
"President Putin: Stop the killing. Withdraw your troops. Leave Ukraine once and for all," he stressed.
Ukraine's health system is "hobbling" the World Health Organization (WHO) says, while attacks on medical facilities forced the UN agency to reconsider deploying emergency teams over security concerns.
Dr Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO's health emergencies programme, said health was now the target of hostilities and "part of war strategy and tactics".
In 2022 alone, the WHO said it had verified 89 attacks on health globally, including 43 on Ukraine in the three weeks since Russia launched its invasion.
"We are working very hard with a lot of partners to get an emergency medical team on the ground. But how can we put an emergency medical team on the ground, if the facilities they might want to support are going to be attacked and are going to be bombed, are going to be heavily damaged?" asked dr. Ryan quoted from The National News March 18.
