UN may move Ukraine aid supplies underground
Global Banking & Finance Review
The U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Ukraine said the organisation is weighing moving aid supplies into underground bunkers after Russian strikes hit 10 of its warehouses this year and destroyed millions of dollars' worth of supplies. One World Health Organization warehouse with medical supplies was struck earlier this month, and other attacks ruined hygiene kits and school materials. The U.N. is delaying purchases to reduce exposure and investing in staff protection such as armoured vehicles, drone detection and mobile drone shelters, but those extra costs were not included in the $2.3 billion aid budget for 2026.
Attacks destroyed 10 U.N. warehouses, prompting underground storage plans.
