The UN said that the situation after the destruction of the Kakhovska hydroelectric power plant (HPP) may worsen in the next few hours. This was reported by RIA Novosti citing a press release of the organization.
It is noted that more towns and villages are being flooded because of the constant rise of the water level. The UN press-release informs that such situation may affect people's access to basic services, as well as create serious risks to human health.
