  • The war in Ukraine has caused death and suffering on a dramatic scale and left at least 17 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance and protection. The humanitarian response has expanded significantly in scale and scope, enabled by the rapid funding allocated through the Flash Appeal. The third iteration of the Flash Appeal started on 24 February and covers a period of 10 months, from March to December 2022. For further information click here.
