United Nations Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Martin Griffiths, told Associated Press that the humanitarian situation became "hugely worse" after the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant.
Stressing that 700,000 people lost access to drinking water, Griffiths also warned of far-reaching consequences, including lower grain exports in the aftermath of flooding. He underscored that this is "only the beginning of seeing the consequences of this act."
