The Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher, is in Ukraine this week to meet people affected by the hostilities, discuss how the UN can further cooperate with Ukrainian authorities, and engage with humanitarian partners.
Yesterday, in Zaporizhzhia, Fletcher held talks with authorities. He visited the site where a missile hit a medical clinic last month, destroying the facility and causing civilian casualties. He also visited an underground school, built in just 6 months, which will educate 1,000 children each day.
In Dnipro yesterday, Fletcher visited a collective site for displaced people.
Today, the Under-Secretary-General travelled to the front-line area of the Donetsk region, where he commended the work of local first responders and non-governmental organizations. He witnessed how aid organizations are supporting communities remaining in the area. At a transit centre in the city of Pavlohrad, in Dnipro, he saw how evacuees are receiving assistance.
Fletcher will visit Kharkiv tomorrow. On Thursday, he and Filippo Grandi, the head of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), will launch this year’s humanitarian and refugee response plans for Ukraine and the region. Fletcher and Grandi will jointly speak to the press from Kyiv just before the plans are launched.
Occupied Palestinian Territory...???.

As the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza continues, OCHA is once again calling on the Israeli authorities to enable the delivery of life-saving assistance to people across the Strip – safely, swiftly and at scale. OCHA reports that the Israeli authorities continue to deny UN-led efforts to reach Palestinians with vital aid. Throughout Gaza yesterday, only seven out of 22 UN-planned humanitarian movements were facilitated by the Israeli authorities. Six were denied outright, five were impeded, and four were cancelled due to security and logistical challenges.
Meanwhile, OCHA warns ongoing hostilities and evacuation orders continue to displace civilians across Strip. Civilians whether they leave or stay. Those fleeing fighting must be allowed to do so safely, in central Gaza yesterday Israeli military issued a new evacuation order for residents in An Nuseirat, in Al-Mufti neighbour. Humanitarian partners estimate that some 4,100 people are affected by the latest directive. The area under evacuation includes residents living in and around two displacement sites managed by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. It also includes three medical points, two water delivery points and two temporary learning spaces.
Partners have observed a limited number of people moving from the area under evacuation toward Nuseirat City and other parts of Deir al Balah. Displaced people across Gaza continue to report critical shortages of food, water and sanitation facilities. That’s according to a new survey of nearly 2,500 households across the Strip. More than two thirds of those households told humanitarian partners that they had been displaced at least once over the last 60 days.

A historic move marking a new era for Syria, the first class of Syrian police cadets has graduated since fall of President Bashar Assad. Event took place at newly reopened police college in Damascus, signifying a significant shift in country's approach to security after decades of oppressive rule under Assad's regime. Known for its brutal tactics including widespread surveillance, arbitrary detentions, torture, & the deaths of many, the Assad family's legacy is now being rewritten by Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Group, now steering the nation's security apparatus, aims to "preserve security & safety in Syria’s provinces & to track down remnants of Assad regime," as stated by Oussama Mohammad, a military official at police college.
