At least 326,000 newly displaced people in Ukraine received humanitarian assistance in September as the United Nations and its partners continue to respond to the effects of ongoing attacks.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said 150 humanitarian organizations provided support to displaced people, including assistance with evacuations, transit centres and accommodation in areas where they sought safety.
However, continued attacks are making humanitarian operations increasingly difficult.
Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine were hit by further deadly attacks that damaged bridges, medical facilities and educational institutions, while disrupting essential services.
Ukrainian authorities reported that at least eight civilians were killed and nearly 70 injured between Wednesday and Thursday morning, including eight children.
In Kyiv, an overnight attack killed one person and injured at least 14 others, including emergency medical personnel and students.
Homes, a university, a school, medical facilities, metro infrastructure and a major bridge across the Dnipro River were damaged. The destruction of the bridge disrupted travel between the two sides of the capital.
The Donetsk region was also significantly affected, with authorities reporting more than 20 casualties. Further casualties were reported in other regions.
OCHA said humanitarian organizations continue to support affected communities despite the security challenges posed by the ongoing attacks.
