After a deadly Russian strike on Sumy, Ukraine, on Sunday — which killed at least 34 people, including two children, and injured over 100 — the UN Children’s Fund, UNICEF, has renewed its call for an end to the war.
Jinan Ramadan, Chief of UNICEF’s Field Office in Kharkiv, has just returned from a mission to assess the situation in Sumy.
Her office, which also coordinates humanitarian aid for the region, visited the local children’s hospital where many young victims are being treated.
In an interview with UN News’s Evgeniya Kleshcheva, Ms. Ramadan shared powerful accounts of the suffering she witnessed — from traumatized families to injured children — and highlighted the critical support UNICEF is providing in the wake of the tragedy.Â
