The war in Ukraine continues with no resolution in sight, taking a toll on the lives of millions of people, including women, girls, older persons and other vulnerable groups who have been uprooted from their homes. Over 14.6 million people – about 40 per cent of the estimated total Ukrainian population – will need humanitarian assistance in 2024.

In this appeal for 2024, UNFPA seeks $105 million to respond to the needs of affected populations in Ukraine and those who have fled to refugee-hosting countries.

As of October 20th, 101,848 refugees have been registered. Over half of them are women and girls. UNFPA estimates that 2,070 women are currently pregnant, and 1,380 will give birth within the next 6 months.

UNFPA distributed 5,680 dignity kits and is supporting two safe spaces for women and girls to access reproductive health care and other specialized support. UNFPA is also supporting the training of healthcare providers, including doctors, midwives, and nurses.
