  • A Rapid WASH and Infrastructure Assessment in Non-Government Controlled Areas of Eastern Ukraine
    ` A Rapid WASH and Infrastructure Assessment in Non-Government Controlled Areas of Eastern Ukraine August, 2015 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This assessment was commissioned by UNICEF, with data collected remotely by REACH in July 2015 from key informants at water, health, and education facilities as well as from affected communities. Thanks go to all those individuals and organisations who contributed towards this assessment, including the Global WASH Cluster who contributed to the final analysis and drafting. REACH is a joint initiative of IMPACT, its sister organisation ACTED, and the United Nations Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT). REACH facilitates the development of information tools and products that enhance the capacity of aid actors to make evidence-based decisions. For more information, write to [email protected], visit www.reach-intiative.org and follow us @REACH_info. Cover photo: Delivery of drinking water to Debaltseve, Donetsk Oblast, March 2015, ©UNICEF i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Conflict has been ongoing in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts since May 2014, with spikes of violence in June 2014 and again in January-February and in July 2015. Attempts to negotiate a political solution to the conflict led to the ‘Minsk’ ceasefire signed between the Governments of Ukraine, Russian Federation and the non-state actors in September 2014. However, the truce collapsed within days, similar to a new ceasefire agreement signed in February 2015. Relative calm around the Contact Line (CL) has ensued since September 2015, however, the situation remains fragile given lack of trust between the parties to the conflict. From the end of 2014, Ukrainian legislation has restricted freedom of moment of both people and goods, in addition to the cessation of salary and pension payments in the non-governmental controlled areas (NGCAs), increasing hardship for local populations.

  • UKRAINE Highlights 1.1 Million Registered Idps Situation Overview
    Situation Report No. 32 – Ukraine | 1 UKRAINE Situation report No.32 as of 20 March 2015 This report is produced by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers 14 March 2015 – 20 March 2015, unless otherwise noted. The next report will be published on 27 March. Highlights ● While the ceasefire generally continues to hold, humanitarian needs remain high across eastern Ukraine. ● Reports of incidents related to unexploded ordinance are on the increase. Mine and UXO/ERW contamination is a major issue, especially as planting season is scheduled to begin soon. ● A recent assessment confirms that humanitarian concerns are more severe in non-government controlled areas than in Government-controlled areas, largely due to household poor financial conditions, availability of drugs and food. ● Humanitarian funding for Ukraine continues to remain critically low: only 15 percent of the USD 316 required for 2015 has been funded or pledged. “When is gets warm we will return to live,” said Liuba defiantly. 1.1 million registered IDPs “We will start with one room.” Photo: UNHCR / A. McConnell / Nikishyne, Ukraine Source: Ministry of Social Policy Situation Overview While the ceasefire generally continues to hold, humanitarian needs remain high across eastern Ukraine. Three main flashpoints are of concern. In Mariupol, the situation remains tense with reports of shelling in the village of Shyrokyne, east of the city. Mortars, anti-aircraft artillery and heavy machine guns attacks continued in Pisky, Vodiane, Avdiivka, Opytne, Vesele and Tonenke, north of Donetsk city, as well as in the vicinity of Donetsk airport.
