KIEV: In the previous two days, 60,000 people have been evacuated from the besieged province of Sumy and 20,000 from Kiev, according to the Ukrainian authorities.

"Over the last two days, we have evacuated more than 60,000 people from Sumy, Trostyanets, and Krasnopillya to Poltava," Iryna Vereschuk, Minister of the Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories, said in a video speech on Thursday.

We were able to relocate approximately 3,000 individuals from Izyum to Lozova in the Kharkiv region. Medication, food, and water were brought to Izyum. "It's over 100 tonnes." " Over the last day, over 20,000 people were evacuated from the towns of Bucha, Hostomel, Irpin, and Vorzel in the Kyiv area.

"In addition, more than 100 tonnes of humanitarian aid were transported to Enerhodar." The Minister told the Ukrayinska Pravda newspaper that owing to continual shelling by Russian forces, no evacuation from the humanitarian corridor from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia could take place.

The Minister further stated that Russia has consistently hindered the scheduled evacuation of citizens from the important southern port city, describing the situation as a "humanitarian tragedy." "Mariupol-Zaporizhzhia has the worst situation. There has been no evacuation. There hasn't been a single drop of water delivered to thirsty folks.
