The massive escalation in the Russian war against Ukraine since February 2022 has caused unprecedented civilian casualties and the destruction of vital infrastructure, forcing millions of people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection and assistance. Millions of refugees from Ukraine have crossed borders into neighbouring countries, in addition to those displaced inside the country. They are in urgent need of protection and support.
Over 12.7 million people in Ukraine require urgent humanitarian support, including more than 10 million people displaced by the full-scale war.
UNHCR staff are present across Ukraine and are committed to stay and deliver assistance whenever and wherever access and security allow. Our teams and partners have expanded their operations to frontline areas where the needs remain acute, as conditions allow.
We are delivering aid and support to people forced to flee. where the needs remain enormous. UNHCR is working to deliver cash and in-kind assistance to war-affected civilians, giving emergency shelter repair kits to those with damaged homes, carrying out housing repairs, and providing legal support and psychological counselling for those suffering the trauma of war.
We rely on your generosity to continue providing essential, life-saving relief to people whose lives have been shattered by the war.
Your support continues to make a huge difference to those who have been forced to flee and from all of us at UNHCR, thank you for your solidarity and support.
