As the winter months approach, Ukrainian civilians, particularly those who are displaced, are bracing themselves for increased hardship due to the ongoing conflict in the region. Dr. Hasan Kadhim, a field coordinator with the International Rescue Committee, has highlighted the challenges faced by the population as temperatures are expected to plummet below -20 degrees Celsius.
The conflict, now entering its third winter, has been exacerbated by Russia's drone and rocket attacks, which have severely disrupted essential services such as electricity, heating, and water supplies. Kadhim emphasized the detrimental impact of these attacks on the daily lives of civilians, making it difficult for them to work or carry out basic tasks without access to power.
