Ukraine: Russian attack destroys humanitarian food aid in Dnipro

(UN News) The World Food Programme (WFP) has deplored a Russian attack on a warehouse in Dnipro, Ukraine that destroyed “a significant quantity” of food aid destined for thousands in frontline areas. “Absolutely unacceptable,” WFP chief Cindy McCain tweeted on Tuesday, a day after the airstrike. “These deliberate attacks MUST end. Aid workers and humanitarian assets are not a target.”. The UN agency said on Monday that a warehouse used for its humanitarian operations “was targeted by a precision-guided, Iskander ballistic missile,” marking the second time the facility has come under fire in six months. The warehouse was storing enough humanitarian food assistance to support 130,000 people living near the frontline, with an estimated value of around $1.4 million. – Ukraine: Russian attack destroys humanitarian food aid in Dnipro | UN News
