UNITED NATIONS Homme Air Jordan 11 Noir Or à vendre , Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said on Friday that fighting in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region is forcing more people from their homes, pushing the number of people who have been registered as internally displaced close to 1 million.


In addition, since February 2014, some 600,000 Ukrainians have sought asylum or other forms of legal stay in neighboring countries, in particular Russia, but also including Belarus, Moldova, Poland, Hungary and Romania, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a daily news briefing here.


"The Agency's teams have reported that heavy fighting in Donetsk over the last two weeks has resulted in massive destruction of buildings and infrastructure, and in the collapse of basic services," the spokesman said.


"Many people are still trapped by the fighting, including in basements and buildings under constant bombardment," he said.


Last week, the UNHCR reported at least 943,500 internally displaced persons (IDPs). Ukraine's Ministry of Social Policy on Friday counted some 980,000 people as currently internally displaced, expecting that figure to rise as fighting continues.


So far, more than 2,800 civilians, including about 700 children and 60 people living with disability, have been evacuated from the towns of Debaltseve, Avdiivka and Svitlodar, which have seen fierce combat. Several incidents of shelling of buses carrying the evacuees have been reported.


Evacuees are being taken to government-controlled towns to the north of Donetsk, but the Ukrainian government has expressed concerns that areas close to the frontline are unable to accommodate new arrivals because of the heavy shelling they are under, and they warn that people will have to be moved further away to central, southern and western parts of the country.


Organized evacuation is mainly done by bus or car, with the most vulnerable taking trains. Train carriages at the railway station in Slovyansk are used as temporary accommodation for evacuees as they await onward transportation.


Other civilians flee conflict areas by their own means, facing numerous dangers along the way. UNHCR teams on the ground report many of the recently displaced arriving with very few belongings and very few winter clothes.


The UN Agency has been working closely with local non- governmental organization networks to distribute relief items, such as blankets, sleeping bags, bed linen, warm clothes and jerry cans, in northern areas of the Donetsk region, the main place of arrival of IDPs from the conflict areas. It has also assisted around 1,600 newly arrived IDPs from Debaltsevo and Vuhlehirsk in conflict-affected areas which are not controlled by the government.


The lack of access to public services previously provided by the central authorities has drastically worsened the plight of the civilian population in areas not under government control, the UNHCR reported, pointing to further aggravation of the crisis due to restrictions on the movement of people and goods.

BEIJING, March 2 (Xinhua) -- Britain's Prince William launched a China-UK cultural event here on Monday during his first-ever visit to China, by dotting the eyes of a sculpture of British cartoon character Shaun the Sheep.


Using a Chinese writing brush and red ink, the Duke of Cambridge added the finishing touches to the eyes of the sheep, which features a Union Jack design by British artist Dan Heffer and echoes the animal symbol of this Chinese lunar year.


The ceremony, drawn from the auspicious Chinese tradition of dotting the lion's eye in a lion dance to bring good fortune and taking place at the residence of the British Ambassador to China, marked the start of the 2015 China-UK Year of Cultural Exchange.


William chatted with Chinese artists and representatives of the arts before the ceremony but gave no speeches.


He will attend the GREAT Festival of Creativity in Shanghai, where more than 500 British artists, designers and companies will be represented, on Tuesday, and head to southwest China's Yunnan Province later.


The prince's visit to China is the first by a senior British royal in nearly three decades, since Queen Elizabeth II's tour in 1986.


The Shaun the Sheep sculpture is among a number of models of the character to be exhibited as part of the Year of Cultural Exchange. Fifty Shaun the Sheep sculptures with designs by British and Chinese artists will be displayed in five cities across China this year, according to the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy in Beijing.


Around 30 projects will showcase UK culture in China in the first half of the year, while the second half will bring Chinese culture to the UK, said Nick Marchand, creative director of the Year of Cultural Exchange.


China and the UK are witnessing deeper and deeper cultural exchanges and have a lot to learn from each other, not only about their historical cultures but also about their modern culture, said Sajid Javid, the UK secretary of state for culture, media and sport.


""We'd love to export more into China with our creative sector, but I think for China it would like to do the same, to seize Britain as a great destination for that investment and to learn about how you can expand that creative sector more and make it more attractive throughout the world,"" he told reporters.


Creative industries contributed 5 percent of the UK economy in 2013 and grew at a speed of 10 percent year on year, according to the embassy's cultural and education section.


Several collaborative projects between Chinese and British cultural sectors are under way, Marchand said: Britain's Royal Court Theatre is working with new Chinese writers and a British publishing company is looking at translating the works of some Chinese contemporary writers into English.
