Ukraine

Almost 5,000 trained foster families are needed in Ukraine to help children currently living full-time in institutions move into safer family-based care arrangements, especially as the war leaves more children without parental care and at risk of being admitted into institutions, Save the Children said.

Save the Children responds to reports that drone and missile attacks in Donetsk region last night have killed 11 people, and injured 30, including five children.

A 12-year-old boy with Downs Syndrome in Ukraine who has been left severely emotionally distressed by a lifetime of conflict is at risk of becoming homeless due to foreign aid cuts, Save the Children said, as the child rights organisation shared examples of the impacts on cash assistance work around the world.

Following three years of bombardments and attacks across the country, thousands of families and children in Ukraine have experienced catastrophic loss. Not only have many lost their loved ones and homes, they have also lost their incomes, savings and support networks, while the cost of rent, utility bills and food has risen sharply.

New analysis, released on the eve of International Day of Education, shows 576 education facilities in Ukraine – including schools, kindergartens and universities – were damaged or destroyed in 2024 compared to 256 education facilities in 2023.

Analysis of Save the Children’s case management data from January to June 2024 reveals 43% of these children are suffering from psychosocial distress.

New analysis, released on World Children’s Day, shows more than half a million babies have been born in Ukraine between February 2022 and August 2024.

It’s been reported that six children were injured when the southern cities of Odessa and Mykolaiv were attacked.

This winter is predicted to be the toughest yet for children and their families since the full-scale war broke out almost three years ago due to a combination of weather conditions, infrastructure damage, power blackouts and a lack of access to essential services such as healthcare.
