General UN Secretary António Guterres called for the organization of humanitarian corridors in Ukraine for the civilian population who wish to leave Mariupol, Kharkiv, Sumy and other cities in the war zone, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to Focus.
& #171;A pause must be placed in hostilities in Ukraine to allow the safe passage of civilians from Mariupol, Kharkiv and Sumy, as well as all other places affected by the conflict», he wrote.
According to him According to him, for this it is extremely necessary for the parties to the conflict to establish a pause in hostilities and cease fire during the evacuation of civilians. It is also necessary to ensure the delivery of vital humanitarian supplies for those people who decide to stay, Guterres said.
According to The European Times, UN emergency coordinator Amin Awad arrived in Ukraine on March 5. He called for an «immediate humanitarian pause» in hostilities as UN humanitarian aid arrives in the country. His call was echoed by UNICEF, which has already sent a six truck convoy containing approximately 62 tons of humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
