Meanwhile, the United Nations office in Ukraine announced on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, that its partners are seeking $358.4 million to provide heating assistance, shelter repairs, health care, protection, and food and cash aid to Ukrainians this coming winter. Matthias Schmale, the humanitarian coordinator for Ukraine, noted, “Last winter showed us that attacks on energy can leave families without heating, electricity and water for days – and sometimes weeks – during freezing temperatures.” He added that preparations are underway to reach vulnerable groups, including those closest to the frontline and newly displaced people, before winter arrives.

In Sudan, between Monday and Tuesday, two drone strikes likely launched by the Rapid Support Forces militia fighting government troops killed at least 27 civilians and injured dozens more. On Monday, drones struck a market in Ar Rahad, North Kordofan, according to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Sheldon Yett, UNICEF’s representative in Sudan, said, “Markets are places where families gather to buy food, earn a living and meet basic needs. They should never become places of death and devastation.”

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), national health authorities have reported 2,473 confirmed Ebola cases across several provinces including Ituri and North Kivu.

Additionally, researchers with the Pan American Health Organization, a sub-agency of the World Health Organization, published a study revealing that nearly 470 million people across North and South America suffer from at least one neurological disorder.
