Over 1.5 million refugees from Ukraine have registered in Poland for Temporary Protection. Some registrations were deactivated subsequently, as their holders left Poland for more than 30 days, bringing the number of active PESEL registrations by the end of November to 942,857, according to GoP data (LINK).
UNHCR is supporting government-led efforts through a multisectoral response focusing on ensuring access to asylum and protection, assisting the most vulnerable refugees, and facilitating socioeconomic inclusion.
UNHCR and partners are at border crossing points and in refugeehosting areas to provide information on rights and services, to identify and support vulnerable refugees, to reinforce the reception capacities and support longer-term solutions.
