GENEVA, 24 March 2022, (TON): The World Health Organization is concerned about the safety of chemical and nuclear facilities in Ukraine.
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Gheb-reyesus said at a briefing in Geneva “all parties to minimize the risk of a nuclear or chemical accident.”
The director general said “we are concerned about the reliability and safety of the operation of nuclear and chemical facilities.”
“We are working with the IAEA and continue to urge all parties to minimize the risk of a nuclear or chemical accident, which could have catastrophic consequences for people’s health.”
As Ghebreyesus stressed “the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate in many regions of Ukraine, it has become critical in places like Mariupol and Bucha.”
WHO has sent 150 tons of medical supplies to the country’s residents, he said, drawing attention to the “serious lack of cash flow” to help the needy population.
