Ukraine Emergency Situation Report #21 - 15 November 2023

As of October 2023, an estimated 6.2 million people have been forced to flee Ukraine, with 93 percent of them hosted in European countries—representing 5.8 million refugees. An estimated 3.6 million people are internally displaced within Ukraine. Inside Ukraine, an estimated 14.6 million people need health assistance, and 14.7 million need protection assistance and services, including 3.6 million who need GBV prevention and response services.

In addition to training health professionals, and providing dignity kits and mobile psychosocial teams, UNFPA continues to support an expanding network of Women and Girls Safe Spaces: 29 across Ukraine, 33 across Moldova, and three in each Romania and Belarus, focusing on refugees and host communities.

Ongoing heavy bombardments and frontline fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine continue to impact humanitarian access, making the delivery of humanitarian assistance more complex and unpredictable.
