Ukraine

Ukraine has seen intense fighting since 24 February 2022. This has led to a grave humanitarian crisis, with millions of people in dire need, including those who have fled across borders and many more who are on the move inside the country or unable to leave encircled towns and cities. The United Nations and partners have been assisting vulnerable communities in the conflict-torn eastern regions for the past eight years. Now we are collectively scaling up our supplies and services to meet the massive and urgent relief and protection needs for civilians across the country.
