The situation in Ukraine has been described by a top UN official as a “real tragedy”, which is man-made and affecting people in a dramatic way.

John Ging, the Operations Director of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says more than a million displaced Ukrainians fleeing violence “may be alive but have no life”.

Meanwhile, the UN estimates that more than 6000 people have been killed since fighting between government and pro-Russian separatists began in April 2014.

Mr Ging gave Nargiz Shekinskaya an update on the humanitarian situation in the country.
