In Oleshky, Kherson region, temporarily occupied by Russia, people are facing a horrific humanitarian crisis. Reports say residents are searching for food scraps and collecting grass simply to survive.

Russia is cutting off supplies of food, medicine and other basic necessities, while denying humanitarian organisations access and blocking efforts to evacuate civilians. Russian FPV drones are hunting people in the streets.

Oleshky had around 24,000 residents before the full-scale war. Today, only about 2,000 remain, including around 50 children. There is no electricity or gas, while food, medicine and other essential supplies have been unavailable for the past month.

Ukraine is working to organise an evacuation. The ICRC has confirmed that it is ready to take part, and international humanitarian organisations are prepared to provide life-saving aid. Yet Russia is preventing these efforts from reaching people.

The suffering in Oleshky and other occupied communities of the Kherson region is a direct consequence of Russia’s actions. The international community must put pressure on Russia to allow humanitarian organisations access, establish a humanitarian corridor, and ensure civilians can leave safely.

"We will not allow these crimes to remain hidden behind the frontline and Russia’s refusal to grant access to the occupied territories," Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has stressed.
