Humanitarian impact of the crisis and resulting needs
Since 24 February 2022, an increasing number of refugees and third-country nationals (TCNs) entering Lithuania have been registered by national authorities due to the Ukraine conflict. Between 24 February and 10 January, 73,774 refugees from Ukraine entered Lithuania and registered for temporary protection. Almost 99 per cent of persons registered at the Migration Department are citizens of Ukraine. At least 4,000 have left the country, or their place of residence is unknown. During October and November, the number of arriving refugees remained stable, with Lithuanian authorities registering between 80 and 120 new daily arrivals.
Healthcare services are available from the day of arrival in Lithuania for those who apply for temporary protection. In coordination with the municipalities, the Ministry of Social Security and Labour, Socialinės apsaugos ir darbo ministerija, manages the accommodation for fleeing Ukrainians. Following the initial accommodation at the temporary registration centre, refugees are channelled through the #StrongerTogether Platform, which provides free-of-charge accommodation for up to three months, offered by Lithuanian citizens who volunteer to host Ukrainians.
