The humanitarian situation in the East of Ukraine is compounded, the number of refugees has reached 1.8 million people, and the Ukrainian government "inadequate" solves the resulting difficulties with refugees. With this assessment made at the present time in Geneva, the office of the high Commissioner for refugees (UNHCR). Official dealer of UNHCR William Spindler expressed "extreme concern at the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the East of Ukraine. He recalled that the United Nations have repeatedly warned Kiev about the undesirability of cessation of payment of social benefits in Donetsk and Luhansk, as this may lead to new burdens and movement for the population. "We urge the Ukrainian government to correct the situation," said Spindler. "We do not think that the response of the government of Ukraine) was adequate," said an official dealer of UNHCR. - The vast majority of internally displaced persons have sought refuge in the private sector, members of the family. Those accommodated in collective centres, are a minority. We urge the government to increase assistance to all internally displaced persons". Of particular concern to the UN is the situation in areas controlled by the Ukrainian government, where the lack of access to benefits and proposals previously formerly provided by the Central authorities, have aggravated the situation of the civilian population. With all of this, it has become even worse due to restrictions on the movement of inhabitants of our planet and products," reports the Telegraph. Adept UN also recognized that conditions in the Northern part of Donetsk and Lugansk "particularly virulent" in consequence of the frequent failures in the provision of water and electricity due to artillery shelling. However, the number of internally displaced persons and refugees has reached 1.8 million people, of which thirty percent fled the state. More than half a million Ukrainians disappeared on the territory of the Russian Federation, about 80 thousand fled to neighbouring Belarus.
