As the war entered its sixth month, hostilities continued to severely affect the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine. In Odesa, for example, missiles hit the port area one day after the signature of the UN supported Black Sea Grain Initiative, formalizing agreement on the resumption of grain exports by sea.
While people are returning home, new waves of displacement are anticipated due to insecurity and a lack of gas and water supply in affected areas. UNHCR continues to deliver assistance and services as close as possible to the places where people are sheltering or have been displaced.
UNHCR’s response has now reached nearly 1.6 million people with protection services, cash assistance and essential items to address immediate needs, and shelter support to provisionally repair damaged homes to protect people from the elements and improve conditions in reception and collective centres.
While providing immediate relief to those fleeing, UNHCR is also committed to durable solutions and linking humanitarian and development interventions from the outset. UNHCR is working closely with local and national actors to lay the groundwork for recovery and to ensure that our response is effectively reinforcing and complementing national systems.
Responding to winterization needs in Ukraine is a key priority of the humanitarian response, helping people to cope with the onset of freezing temperatures. UNHCR will scale-up programs that enable IDPs, conflict-affected persons and returnees to access safe, warm and dignified accommodation during the winter months
