As of 30 April 2015, 68 children have been killed and 176 children have been wounded in the conflict zone of eastern Ukraine, according to WHO. On 20 April, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko discussed by telephone the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine and continuing efforts by the international community to mediate peace in the country. There have been reports of people, including children, being harmed in incidents related to landmines and unexploded ordnance. Unexploded ordnance and landmines reportedly remain in zones of conflict, posing a danger to the lives of children . A UNICEF mission on 14-18 April found that 130,271 children are enrolled in 485 schools in non-government-controlled areas in Donetsk region. More than 160 schools have suffered damage due to fighting, though many of them are still in use. The main needs are roofing materials and window glass. School teachers in Donetsk region, where active fighting is taking place, received their December 2014 salary in April 2015. There is still a shortage or absence of school buses and lack of fuel in Debaltseve, Dokutchaevsk, the village of Yasnoe, Nikishine and surrounding villages, and Donetski settlement, reportedly affecting access to education for some 40 to 50 students and teachers. In the government-controlled area of Donetsk region, the Department of Education has stated that fresh statistics on enrolment will not be collected now as the school year ends in May 2015. The Luhansk region Damaged school in Donetsk region with Department of Education has reported that they will have collected marked unexploded ordnance in front of the entrance. [Credit: UNICEF Ukraine/2015/ enrolment data by the end of April. There are still reports from the R.Rzhehak] government-controlled areas, including Kharkiv, that internally displaced children are not being enrolled in school because their parents expect to return to their place of origin before the new school year (the summer break starts in June 2015). There are also some reports that discrimination and bullying is keeping displaced children out of school. Humanitarian partners in Kyiv have raised protection concerns related to the movement of children for examination purposes with the Ministry of Education and Science. Vaccine supply is a serious concern in Donetsk region: there is currently only 7-10 per cent out of required vaccination quantities available in non-government controlled areas in Donetsk. Difficulties in access to water infrastructure in front line areas is hampering repair works as well as emergency assistance through water trucking. Access to potable water in villages or cities located next to the front line is very poor. Damage to water supply networks has been identified in several locations in Luhansk region (Pervomaisk, Kirovsk, Bryanka and Stakhanov). This has resulted in poor or limited access to water supply system. Most rural areas are yet to be assessed to evaluate the extent of the damage to water supply networks. The water supply through the Siverskiy Donets water canal in Mariupol has been cut due to damaged pipes. Currently, Mariupol city is getting water from Starokrymske water reservoir, although its quality is poor, as reported by city authorities. The general lack of cash among conflict-affected people is causing increased demand for hygiene kits in all areas of Donetsk, Lugansk and Kharkiv, particularly amongst IDPs. 2 UKRAINE SITUATION REPORT 1 May 2015 Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination On 28 April 2015, the Government of Ukraine hosted the International Support for Ukraine Conference in Kyiv. The main purpose of the conference was to draw international attention to the situation in the country and the Government’s economic reforms. The conference was attended by several hundred guests, including representatives of states, international organisations, the civil society, and international investors. To strengthen the response and coordination among humanitarian actors, the Protection Cluster submitted a recommendation to establish the Mine Action sub-cluster to the Humanitarian Coordinator and the Humanitarian Country Team. A drawing done by Tanya, 9 y.o., showing angels that should protect her in Hirske, Luhansk region, The Education Cluster has advocated for a more Ukraine comprehensive understanding on the situation of out of school students. IDP families frequently move, often forgetting to deregister from the regional IDP list. The WASH Cluster is exploring the feasibility of conducting a WASH baseline survey in affected areas in both government and non-government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

    ENTERING THE GREY-ZONE: Hybrid Warfare and the Protection of Civilians in Ukraine civiliansinconflict.org i RECOGNIZE. PREVENT. PROTECT. AMEND. PROTECT. PREVENT. RECOGNIZE. Cover: June 4, 2013, Spartak, Ukraine: June 2021 Unexploded ordnances in Eastern Ukraine continue to cause harm to civilians. T +1 202 558 6958 E [email protected] civiliansinconflict.org ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION AND VISION Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) is an international organization dedicated to promoting the protection of civilians in conflict. CIVIC envisions a world in which no civilian is harmed in conflict. Our mission is to support communities affected by conflict in their quest for protection and strengthen the resolve and capacity of armed actors to prevent and respond to civilian harm. CIVIC was established in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a young humanitarian who advocated on behalf of civilians affected by the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Honoring Marla’s legacy, CIVIC has kept an unflinching focus on the protection of civilians in conflict. Today, CIVIC has a presence in conflict zones and key capitals throughout the world where it collaborates with civilians to bring their protection concerns directly to those in power, engages with armed actors to reduce the harm they cause to civilian populations, and advises governments and multinational bodies on how to make life-saving and lasting policy changes. CIVIC’s strength is its proven approach and record of improving protection outcomes for civilians by working directly with conflict-affected communities and armed actors. At CIVIC, we believe civilians are not “collateral damage” and civilian harm is not an unavoidable consequence of conflict—civilian harm can and must be prevented.
