Resources for Ukrainian Population

The 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia uprooted individuals, resulting in disrupted lives and separated families. As of February 2024, nearly 3.7 million Ukrainians are internally displaced within Ukraine while 6.4 million have become war refugees abroad according to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. Once abroad, these Ukrainians confront complex legal processes, differing by country, that result in limited access to employment and serve to further compound the psychological toll of displacement. This combined with the shock of war and the absence of supportive social resources sets the stage for many health challenges.
