Why are we in Ukraine? More than two years into the conflict, approximately 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced by fighting, with an estimated 4 million people internally displaced and living under makeshift circumstances around the country. Concern is supporting the humanitarian needs of internally-displaced people in a variety of settings.
After more than two years, the fighting in Ukraine has continued unabated, with ongoing attacks compromising local infrastructure and services and air raid alerts disrupting everyday life. In the winter, this creates especially harsh conditions with electricity supplies often limited and fuel prices at a premium. Year-round, conflict-driven inflation and disrupted livelihoods have led to millions of Ukrainians unable to meet basic needs such as food and healthcare, especially in rural areas of the country.
Many Ukrainians displaced by the violence are living in collective centres. These provide shelter for those who have lost their homes to war, but they are not equipped to be long-term housing. In addition to the physical needs, we are also witnessing a mental health crisis as the result of the conflict, with related trauma affecting everyone from young children to pensioners.
Cash assistance
From paying rent to buying medicine, cash is a critical resource for those displaced by conflict. Cash transfers give people the autonomy to choose what they purchase while continuing to strengthen and support local markets. Concern has reached over 106,000 people with cash assistance in Ukraine.
