Humanitarian Crisis in Occupied Oleshky: Thousands Trapped Without Food or Medicine

Over 6,000 civilians, including around 200 children, are trapped in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky in the Kherson region. They are facing a severe humanitarian crisis with no access to food, medicine, or safe evacuation. The last food supplies were delivered in May 2026. The city's infrastructure is destroyed, with no electricity or gas. The All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations, along with Ukrainian authorities and international organizations, have been appealing to Russia and the international community to allow humanitarian aid and evacuation. Ukraine is bringing the issue to the UN General Assembly.
