- WHO confirmed that a warehouse in Dnipro holding $500,000 in emergency health supplies was completely destroyed by three Russian strikes, halting deliveries to frontline medical facilities.
- UNHCR reported that a drone strike destroyed a warehouse in Pavlohrad containing emergency shelter materials, with no casualties but major disruption to aid distribution.
- Save The Children had its office in Sumy damaged by a guided aerial bomb and a warehouse hit by a drone strike, marking two attacks on its facilities in under a week.
- OCHA stated that at least 10 civilians were killed and over 120 injured in a 24-hour period, with the Dnipro and Kharkiv regions among the hardest hit by ongoing attacks.
- WHO has documented 72 attacks on humanitarian warehouses since February 2022, with 3,149 total attacks on healthcare infrastructure and 240 deaths recorded during the conflict.
Why it matters: The destruction of warehouses stocked with $500,000 in medical supplies and over $1 million in shelter materials directly reduces Ukraine’s capacity to treat the wounded and shelter displaced civilians, increasing humanitarian risk as attacks systematically disrupt logistics networks essential for survival in frontline regions.
