UNHCR is on the ground delivering aid to families who have been forced to flee their homes because of the conflict in Ukraine. Over 6.7 million refugees have fled Ukraine to neighbouring countries while 3.7 million people are displaced inside the country.
Renewed tensions escalated on 24 February 2022, forcing millions of people in Ukraine to flee their homes.
The situation in Ukraine is developing rapidly and we are now seeing the fastest growing level of displacement in Europe since World War II. Families are fleeing their homes, seeking safety in surrounding countries such as Poland and Moldova, as well as sheltering within Ukraine.
The numbers are dramatic. 6.7 million people have now fled Ukraine to other countries. 12.7 million people are predicted to need relief and protection.
UNHCR, is working with the authorities, other UN agencies, IDP community groups and partners to provide humanitarian assistance wherever possible. Core relief items such as mattresses, blankets, plastic sheets, containers for water, cooking utensils and hygiene kits are being distributed. Emergency shelter kits are being provided to help protect homes in need of repair. Cash assistance is also being provided to support in providing shelter to those who need it the most.
