If there is no international organisation in the area of this disaster now, it means that it does not exist at all, that it is incapable of functioning
Thousands of people have been evacuated from areas affected by flooding along the Dnipro river.

Flooding in the lower Dnipro is likely to begin to recede over the course of the day, according to the the UK’s Ministry of Defence.
In its regular intelligence update, the MoD says shelling has “complicated some attempts to evacuate displaced civilians from inundated areas”.
Away from the disaster in Kherson following the breach of the Kakhovka dam, the MoD assesses that heavy fighting is ongoing in multiple sections of the frontlines.
“In most areas Ukraine holds the initiative,” the update says, but it also says Russian troops are “likely still being ordered to return to the offensive as soon as possible”.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on “international organisations, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, to immediately join the rescue operation and help people in the occupied part of Kherson region”.
In a video address late last night, he said: “Each person who dies there is a verdict on the existing international architecture and international organisations that have forgotten how to save lives.
“If there is no international organisation in the area of this disaster now, it means that it does not exist at all, that it is incapable of functioning. All the relevant appeals from Ukraine and our government are in place.”
And in an interview to Germany’s Bild magazine, Zelensky said he was “shocked” by the lack of help from the UN and the Red Cross.
