The number of civilian victims of the war in Ukraine in 2024 increased by 30% compared to the previous year, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo said at a meeting of the UN Security Council, writes UNN.

The people of Ukraine have endured three years of devastation caused by Russia’s full-scale invasion of their country in February 2022. (…) The most disturbing thing is that in 2024 we witnessed an alarming increase in the number of victims among the civilian population. According to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the total number of civilians killed and injured last year was 30 percent higher than the year before. The increase in the number of victims among children is of particular concern. More children were killed or injured in the first three quarters of 2024 than in all of 2023. According to OHCHR, at least 12,456 civilians, including 669 children, were killed between February 2022 and December 31, 2024. According to OHCHR, 28,382 civilians, including 1,833 children, were injured. The actual numbers are probably much higher

According to her, the number of confirmed attacks on schools and hospitals also increased in 2024, with more than 580 educational and medical facilities damaged or destroyed during the nine months.
