Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) says in its report that at least 3,344 civilians have been killed since the beginning of war in Donbas.
According to head of UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine Matilda Bogner, “the total civilian death toll of the conflict reached at least 3,344 (1,807 men, 1,055 women, 98 boys, 49 girls and 37 adults whose sex is unknown, as well as 298 individuals who died on board the Malaysian Airlines flight MH17) as of November 15, 2019.”
The report also notes that the number of injured civilians to exceed 7,000 since the beginning of the war.
From January 1 to November 15, 2019, 162 civilians were killed in Donbas: 26 were killed and 136 were injured.
From August 16 to November 15, 2019, OHCHR recorded 42 conflict-related civilian casualties on both sides of the contact line (23 men, 12 women, two girls and five boys).
It is clarified that six people were killed and 36 injured, UNIAN reports.
The UN mission is convinced that the only way to stop the emergence of new victims is to ensure that both parties comply with the ceasefire.
About 50,000 civilian homes have been damaged or destroyed since the beginning of hostilities in Donbas.
“Over 50,000 civilian homes have been damaged or destroyed due to hostilities on both sides of the contact line since mid-April 2014,” the report emphasizes.
However, according to Bogner, the Ukrainian government has failed to provide restitution or compensation for civilian property lost or destroyed due to hostilities or military use of properties. At the same time, the inclusion of a budget line for these purpose in next year’s State budget is a positive sign.
As The Journalist reported, Parliament extends law on special status of Donbas for a year.
