Ukraine: The Humanitarian Disaster of the Nova Kakhovka Dam Floods

Описание: 'Ukraine: The Humanitarian Disaster of the Nova Kakhovka Dam Floods'

A look at the devastating impact of the floods that have followed the collapse of the Nova Kakhovka Dam.

The international community may not yet agree on what caused the Nova Kakhovka dam to collapse, but nobody can deny the immeasurable suffering it has caused. In Kherson this woman rescues her dogs from what remains of her home. Her story is one of thousands, on both sides of the Dnipro river. The grim reality is, that the worst effects of this disaster may be yet to come. Crop harvests are likely to be affected, and the nuclear Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant may be at risk in the long term.

Rescue efforts are now well underway. Both by Ukrainian authorities, and by Russia in the parts of Ukraine it currently occupies. Even in the face of this disaster, the war rages on, incredibly these rescue efforts have to stop so everyone can take shelter from yet more shelling. Back at the UN the message from the US, UK and France was clear: whatever caused the collapse of the dam, the root cause of all the terrible suffering of Ukrainian and Russian people alike is Putin’s terrible war.
