Approximately 3.7 million people remain internally displaced within Ukraine, due to the ongoing conflict. The majority of these individuals have been displaced for more than two years, and face many challenges including limited job opportunities and high housing costs. Over half are women, and a quarter are children.
In addition to the millions of internally displaced persons (IDPs), nearly 6 million Ukrainians fled to other countries. In total, nearly a quarter of Ukraine's pre-war population has been forced to leave their homes.
Sadly, most individuals and families who fled their homes have been displaced have had to relocate more than once. The majority of families are unable to afford proper housing, food, and medicine. In total, nearly 11 million Ukrainians rely on humanitarian aid to survive.
Internally displaced people generally live in short term rental units unless they can move in with family members. Refugee centers have been set up, primarily in the western part of the country, to assist those with nowhere to go. One in ten IDPs had to sell their home to cover expenses.
We are honored to work alongside many international and local support organizations to assist Jews in Ukraine who were forced to flee their homes. In recent months we expanded our refugee centers to assist individuals forced to flee Kyiv and other cities due to the prolonged power outages. Industrial generators and other major improvements were necessary to accommodate the increased demand for services, and we are grateful to our donors for providing critical funds.
The physical and psychological toll is immense for people who have lost their homes, their livelihood and more. We remain determined to provide as much support as possible, reminding individuals that they are not alone and not forgotten. Together we save lives and restore hope.
