This is reported by the UN News Center.

The report says that there is a danger that 700 thousand people will remain without water.

In addition, the United Nations is extremely concerned about the fate of 400 thousand residents of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, which are already cut off from the clean water supply system for the fourth day.

Also, the UN representative urged all parties to the conflict to immediately provide guarantees regarding the cessation of hostilities in order to allow the repair team to begin restoration of the water supply system and also to facilitate the crossing of the contact line by the repairmen.

At the same time, the humanitarian coordinator expressed concern about the threat of an outbreak of infectious diseases in the affected areas. He also stressed that the cessation of water supply to hospitals is fraught with extremely dangerous consequences.
