This scenario, OCHA said, citing information from aid workers in the region, also had an impact on the humanitarian situation in the neighboring communities of Kurakhovo and Vugledar, home to about 24,000 civilians, “due to both the direct impact of hostilities and for pressure on the services. and resources”, which forced people to flee to other areas of Donetsk.
