In 2018, 4.4 million women, men, children and elderly are continuing to suffer due to the entrenched political impasse and the ongoing armed conflict in eastern Ukraine. Despite many attempts at ceasefire, hostilities continue and to date around 1.6 million people are internally displaced. Those who are most vulnerable are increasingly resorting to risky means to cope, including survival sex and human trafficking. A rapid scale-up in the provision of emergency assistance is an immediate priority, especially for those who are most vulnerable, such as the elderly and women of reproductive age. UNFPA is leading the gender-based violence sub-cluster in Ukraine.
Results data are reported and updated as they become available.
- Targets and UNFPA's populations of concern, including women of reproductive age and pregnant women, are estimated using the MISP calculator.
- Funding estimates are based on country planning processes, including inter-agency humanitarian response plans and regional refugee and resilience plans.
L1: Humanitarian crises in which the national and international resources available in the affected country are sufficient for the required response.
L2: Humanitarian crises requiring significant support from neighbouring countries, regional organizations and possibly humanitarian agency headquarters.
L3: Major, sudden-onset humanitarian crises requiring mobilization across the humanitarian system.
Crisis levels are determined by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, a forum of UN and non-UN humanitarian partners.
