BACKGROUND
While close to 7.9 million refugees from Ukraine were recorded across Europe, 4.7 million refugees from Ukraine have registered for temporary protection or similar national protection schemes.
According to the IOM Ukraine Internal Displacement Report 11th rapid assessment, as of 5 December, there were over 5.9 million people displaced by the war within Ukraine. According to the report, some 680,000 people have been newly displaced within the last month.
Due to repeated missile attacks on energy infrastructure, 12 million Ukrainians have been disconnected from the electricity grid and all of Ukraine’s thermal and hydroelectric power plants have been damaged. This situation is compounded by the onset of harsh winter conditions and plummeting temperatures, aggravating the existing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
