WAR IN UKRAINE

Two years ago, the lives of millions of children were changed forever in Ukraine. Since then, children’s lives have been torn apart. Children have seen their homes, playgrounds and schools bombed. They’ve lost loved ones to the violence or been separated from family members while being forced to flee. They’ve been cut off from healthcare and school. Today, 2.9 million children in Ukraine are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, and the impact of the war on children's mental health cannot be underestimated. As the war enters its third year, nearly 4 million people remain displaced in Ukraine and a further 6.3 million people have been forced to flee across borders to seek refuge. Many are being pushed to the brink, grappling with threats to their health, safety and livelihoods. Every war is a war against children.The ongoing war is exacerbating children’s needs for protection, mental health and psychological support, food, healthcare, education, clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. Children must be protected from harm at all times. Donate now to protect the lives and futures of children in countries like Ukraine.
