With the war between Israel and Hamas raging, a UN humanitarian official urged the Security Council on October 31 to "not lose focus" on Ukraine, especially with winter approaching. "While much international attention is rightly concentrated on the grave events in the Middle East, it is important that we do not lose focus on other crises," said Ramesh Rajasingham, director of coordination for the UN's humanitarian office. Rajasingham told the Security Council that the humanitarian situation in Ukraine remains dire amid the Russian invasion and in the face of "relentless attacks on civilians."
