Since mid-April 2014 to July 27, 2015, at least 6,832 people have been killed and 17,087 wounded in the conflict zone of eastern Ukraine.
This is stated in the report of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
"During the reporting period, clashes and exchanges of fire between the Ukrainian armed forces and armed groups continued in the conflict zone of eastern Ukraine with military and civilian casualties growing. In total, since mid-April 2014 to 27 July 2015, at least 6,832 people (both military and civilians) have been killed and 17,087 were wounded in the conflict zone of eastern Ukraine," the report reads.
According to the report, more than 2.3 million Ukrainians, including internally displaced persons and those who sought refuge abroad, have been uprooted by the conflict since April 2014.
According to the organization, five million people living in the east of Ukraine are in need of humanitarian assistance. According to the report, up to 1.3 million people in conflict-affected areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions are estimated to have difficulties in accessing safe drinking water. "Prices for medicines and food in NGCAs are between 60-100 per cent higher compared to Government controlled areas (GCAs), meaning civilians are forced to make long and risky journey across the contact line to buy supplies," the report says.
