United Nations, Sha'ban 27, 1435, Jun 25, 2014, SPA -- The United Nations estimates that 423 people have been killed between April 15 and June 20 in eastern Ukraine, where the situation is lawless. Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday that the estimate of deaths—both military and civilian—is based on information gathered from official sources. Simonovic said that over the past two weeks, the number of Ukrainians who have fled their homes has doubled, with more than 15,000 moving within the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions. So far, the U.N. refugee agency has identified more than 46,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs)—11,500 from Crimea and almost 35,000 from the east, Simonovic said. Simonovic said Ukrainians are leaving because of fear, the weakening economy, and eroding social rights. --SPA 12:12 LOCAL TIME 09:12 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
