   NOTES




OFFICE OF THE UN HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS/OHCHR PRESS BRIEFING NOTES

calendar_today 17 February 2015

We are alarmed by reports of continued shelling in Debaltseve, but have so far
not managed to get reliable information on the fighting or casualties in the
area. We are particularly concerned about the civilians trapped in the area – we
believe there may be a few thousand hiding in cellars, struggling to get food,
water and other basic necessities. It is unclear how many civilians are still
there. 
The days preceding the ceasefire, which began at midnight on 15 February, were
marked by intense hostilities with numerous military and civilian casualties
reported. In general, during the first two days of the ceasefire, the number of
reported casualties, especially civilian, decreased dramatically. Though
artillery and small arms exchanges did not cease completely, their impact on
civilian population, apparently, considerably decreased. So far we have only
been able to document a few cases: two civilians were reported killed in Popasna
in Luhansk region on Sunday, and several civilians were reported wounded in
Avdiivka in Donetsk region on Monday. 
We are working to verify these and other reports of civilian casualties during
the ceasefire period. 
Overall, since the beginning of the conflict in mid-April 2014 and until 15
February, 5,665 people were killed and 13,961 were wounded in the east of
Ukraine. This is the data available at this point. The UN Human Rights Mission
in Ukraine and the World Health Organization anticipate a further increase in
figures in the coming days because reporting on casualties during the
pre-ceasefire period was considerably delayed due to ongoing hostilities. 
The UN Human Rights Office will issue its next full report on the human rights
situation in Ukraine on 2 March 2015. 
ENDS
