Children and young people are bearing the brunt of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Help UNICEF to provide urgent and ongoing support.
"Sometimes, an air alarm occurs when the kids just fell asleep. By waking them up, we cause a lot of stress for them. That’s why we always go down to the shelter so they can sleep there… We teach our kids not to be afraid of anything."
5.4 million people in Ukraine are internally displaced, and millions more Ukrainian refugees have fled their homes to countries across Europe. This refugee crisis is one of the largest the world has seen since the Second World War, and it is showing no signs of slowing down.
UNICEF continues to work around the clock to deliver urgent and sustainable support to children and families whose lives continue to hang in the balance after a year of violence, trauma and loss. We still need your support.
UNICEF has been in Ukraine for 25 years supporting children on both sides of the contact line.
You can help deliver lifesaving supplies to children, young people, and families who remain in Ukraine, and those who have fled across borders to safety. Your investment is essential in helping us to provide both urgent and long-term solutions for children and families impacted by this devastating emergency, ensuring the children of Ukraine are not left behind.
Since the beginning of the conflict, UNICEF’s teams on the ground have delivered lifesaving supplies to support the needs of over 2.3 million children. As the war continues to evolve at a rapid pace, so do the needs of the children who have fled, and those of the children who have no choice other than to stay.
Escalating conflict is posing a constant threat to children and young people’s safety and right to a future, causing trauma and emotional distress.
Now, more than ever, the children of Ukraine desperately need our help.
Help us to continue our support for vulnerable children, young people and families in Ukraine.
