Civilians in #Ukraine continue to bear the heaviest burden as the war brings destruction. Today, strikes injured civilians and damaged homes in the cities of #Dnipro, #Kharkiv and across the regions. Aid workers, together with local responders, are assisting those affected.

"Renewables mean real energy security. Real energy sovereignty. And real freedom from fossil-fuel volatility." - @antonioguterres buff.ly/v8OyDnD

The clean energy future is no longer a promise. It’s a fact. No government.  No industry.  No special interest can stop it. #ClimateAction

🌻 Oleksandr from Mykolaivska oblast received a voucher from FAO, funded by Norway, to buy sunflower seeds and fertilizers for all 30 hectares of his land. Despite the war, mines, and flooding, he’s cultivating the land again.

🤝 This week, IOM and @EUDelegationUA officially signed an agreement for a new project to modernize the water supply system in Kryvyi Rih. The project aims to ensure reliable access to water for over 700,000 residents, including thousands of displaced people.

Moved by the determination of communities in Ukraine to rebuild their lives. From small businesses reopening to partnerships driving long-term recovery, their resolve to restore livelihoods and dignity is inspiring. IOM stands firmly alongside Ukraine on this journey.

Heartbreaking reports of six children injured – including infants with the youngest just 28 days old – in an attack in #Kharkiv. The toll of the war on children continues to increase are more young lives are devastated. This horror must end. Stop attacks. Protect every child.

Less than a day after a strike on a Kharkiv apartment block, another attack hit a hospital—damaging its roof and wards. Injuries were reported, and people may be trapped. 🏥 Hospitals are protected under international humanitarian law. #NotATarget

Organized crime runs global, violent trafficking networks. Different laws and priorities between countries make them hard to stop. Strong cross-border coordination, intelligence sharing and targeting criminal finances are vital to dismantle networks and #EndHumanTrafficking

Today, I met with @matzschmale @UN_Ukraine to discuss Ukraine’s evolving needs, IOM’s recovery priorities within UN frameworks, and the importance of the UN in enabling durable solutions in Ukraine’s long-term recovery.

July 24 was a sleepless night for the residents of #Cherkasy in Ukraine's centre and #Odesa in the south. Strikes reportedly injured civilians, including a child. Homes, schools, health facilities and markets were hit. Civilians and civilian infrastructure are protected by IHL.
