It took a grisly turn when 13 people were killed in a Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia. Directed at populated cities, the strike happened and left behind a path of death and devastation.
The strike caused extensive damage to homes and infrastructure in suburban areas. While they were speeding to the location, the rescuers tirelessly attempted to pull survivors from the rubble. Unfortunately, the more bodies they pull out, the greater the casualties, and there are still people seriously injured.
The strike has been denounced by local authorities as a grave breach of international humanitarian law. The president of Ukraine expressed sadness at the killing of innocent individuals and promised to bring to account those who were accountable.
The unfolding humanitarian crisis in Ukraine is highlighted by this horrific event. There are countless families in Zaporizhzhia and beyond who are suffering daily, ranging from psychological trauma to denial of access to basic services and displacement in fear.
The United Nations is among the global organizations that have demanded an immediate end to hostilities and pressed all the parties to make the protection of civilians their priority.
The attack has been strongly condemned by the world. The leaders reaffirmed their solidarity with Ukraine, reaffirmed their support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and have rallied behind the country. Humanitarian agencies are fundraising to help the poor.
A stark reminder of the tragic cost that war exacts on innocent lives is the bombing of Zaporizhzhia. It is essential to keep contributing funds to bring peace and stability to the area as the world watches.
