Storyline

On a three-day visit to Poland and Ukraine, the High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi met senior officials in the region to discuss the humanitarian response in Ukraine, and families displaced by the war.

More than 10 million people fled their homes because of the war in Ukraine. Many are displaced inside the country, and more than 4 million are refugees abroad.

In Ukraine, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, operates within the inter-agency humanitarian response under the leadership of the UN Crisis Coordinator. UNHCR focuses efforts on protection, shelter, cash, and in-kind assistance to provide immediate relief to those fleeing the war.

UNHCR teams and local NGO partners have been deployed in various locations across the country, including at border points and in transit- and reception centres. We have also reached out to areas directly affected by the bombardment to provide immediate protection advice and core relief items.

UNHCR teams are working to deliver our protection, shelter, and assistance programmes in western, central, and eastern Ukraine to ensure access to accommodation and vital services.

A multipurpose cash programme has been rolled out in Lviv and Zakharpatia oblasts, and thousands have enrolled. UNHCR aims to reach at least 360,000 displaced people to help them afford basic needs.

Individuals, families, and communities will need protection, shelter, assistance, and access to essential services like health, education, and social protection for years, if not decades. The effects of this war are devastating and far-reaching.
