This was reported by Reuters with reference to the statement of WHO representative in Ukraine Jarno Habicht.
"WHO estimates that up to 10 million people are at risk of some form of a mental disorder, varying from anxiety and stress to more severe conditions," he said.
It is noted that "serious conditions" include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by disturbing events. The agency added that the number of such cases is increasing after 10 months of war with Russia, prompting a separate UN agency to launch online support services.
According to WHO data, as of December 21, at least 700 attacks were carried out on the health care system of Ukraine
