Over 4.6 million people in Ukraine have limited access to water as a result of intense hostilities in the country, with over six million people struggling every day for access to drinking water.

That’s according to the Twitter account of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

“More than a month of intense hostilities in Ukraine devastated water & electricity networks, leaving over 4.6 mln people with limited access to water. In total, over 6 million people in Ukraine are struggling every day to have drinking water, one of the most essential human needs,” the tweet said.

In most temporarily occupied settlements in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, the civilian population has virtually no access to drinking and tap water. In the Donetsk region alone, about 200,000 people do not have access to water.
