Attacks on civilians must stop

HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR FOR UKRAINE MATTHIAS SCHMALE CONDEMNS AN ATTACK BY THE RUSSIAN ARMED FORCES ON A TRANSIT SITE IN POKROVSK TOWN
I am alarmed by news from the Donetsk Region, where yet another attack by Russian Armed Forces damaged a transit centre in Pokrovsk Town where people already fleeing for safety had sought shelter.
Civilians and civilian infrastructure, including humanitarian facilities, which are crucial for saving lives, are protected under international humanitarian law, which must be adhered to.
