"It is absolutely unacceptable": the UN reacted to the shelling
Brown reported that she had repeatedly stopped at this hotel every time she visited Zaporozhye. And also the UN team uses it as a base during repeated trips to the city. "This is absolutely unacceptable. It was a UN base for the evacuation of civilians from Azovstal in Mariupol in May last year," Deniz Brown said. The Humanitarian Coordinator of the UN stressed that such strikes in the civilian population is a violation of international humanitarian law.
"The number of non -refugees that were damaged by civilian infrastructure and through which civilians were killed and injured have reached incredible volumes," Brown said. She called on Russia to immediately stop the strikes in Ukraine: "In the name of humanity, I urge the Russian Federation to comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law and immediately stop non -selective strikes in Ukraine.
" On August 10, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation used the Iskander-K rocket to attack Zaporozhye. It is known that the hotel was injured as a result of the shelling of the Russians. In his room there was a children's camp for children from 6 to 13 years. The SES of Ukraine reported that rocket strokes on the civilian infrastructure of Zaporozhye took away the life of a woman.
According to the head of the Zaporizhzhya Regional Military Administration, Yuri Malashko, the victims could be more if people ignored the alarm signal. As of 22:27, the number of wounded increased to 16 people, including four children. Rescuers promptly extinguished the fire at the site of arrival. Together with police officers, emergency officers inspect the premises and help people get out of the broken building.
