According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the war in Ukraine has triggered one of the biggest displacement crises in the world. More than 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced, with 6.7 million finding refuge in other European countries. Another 400,000 arrived in the first six months of 2024 alone. There are 4 million people who are displaced within Ukraine. Since August of this year, 170,000 people have left their homes in the east of the country.
At a press conference in Geneva on November 12, UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees Kelly T. Clements noted that 'countless children continue their studies online, missing out on social interaction and classroom experiences.' This highlights the ongoing impact of the war on educational opportunities and social development for Ukrainian youth.
Ukraine's army has proved surprisingly resilient, but it needs more support from donors. Despite being able to fend off initial Russian advances and launching incursions into Russian territory, large parts of eastern Ukraine remain under Russian control, demonstrating the need for continuous international assistance.
