UN: 2.7 million people with disabilities at risk in Ukraine

• "People with disabilities have limited or no access to emergency information, shelters and safe havens, and many have been separated from their support networks, leaving them unable to respond to the situation and navigate their surroundings," the UN group said.

The big picture: Few people with disabilities are reported to be internally displaced or to have crossed Ukraine's borders, "indicating that many of them have not been able to flee to safety," the group wrote.

• The committee also warned that women with disabilities face an increased risk of rape and sexual violence.

The bottom line: "The continued military attacks leave people with disabilities extremely vulnerable and at grave risk of harm," the UN group said.
