Mercy Corps said that continued Russian strikes on energy infrastructure in Ukraine could make its cities 'unliveable' in the winter months.
Ukraine's national energy grid could soon collapse, plunging millions of people into a winter humanitarian crisis, an aid organization has warned.
With an estimated 50 percent of Ukraine's energy infrastructure damaged due to continuous Russian missile strikes, Mercy Corps has said that the country's"entire national grid could collapse within weeks if the attacks continue." "What we fear is that, given the pattern appears and the intensity of the air attacks, and their focus on critical civilian infrastructure, like the power grid, that at some point, if they keep up this pace over the next several weeks, the grid will face a situation of critical mass failure," said Michael Young, the Mercy Corps Ukraine response director.
