ABOUT THE MISSION

The conflict in Ukraine has seen a dramatic and rapid escalation since 24th February 2022 with massive multidimensional attacks from Russian troops throughout Ukraine, from the East, North and Southern borders that affected a large part of the country including the capital, Kyiv. This attack has been immediately followed by massive displacements, and as of March 22nd about 3 500 000 Ukrainians have taken refuge in neigbhouring countries and about 6 500 000 are internally displaced, mostly in the west part of the country.

These numerous people leaving East Ukraine, and other area affected, are transiting by road or train to Lviv along an axis Ouman, Vinnistsya, Khmelnytskyï, Ternopil. The trip to Lviv can take several days, and no or very few assistance is provided along this axis, IDPs are therefore lacking food, water, warm places to sleep during curfew time, from 7.00PM to 6.00AM, depending of the oblats regulations.

  • SI response to people in transit needs: to support with ready to eat food people in transit on the axis and to ensure transit centers are well equipped

Many IDPs are settling in the Western regions, including in Lviv Obast but some are also staying in Dnipro and all along the axis. These IDPs have often lost their source of income and rely on relatives, host community and solidarity to find food and basic items. Housing is as well now scarce in the area, prices subsequently increase and the improvised transit centres that are supposed to host IDPs for a few days before they manage to find accommodation are already at the limit of their capacities.

  • Rehabilitation/repairs and/or basic equipment of shelters, houses and buildings to accommodate IDPs.
  • WASH improvements in shelters
  • Cash response to the IDP families including cash for rent

In the meantime, the areas affected by the conflict are becoming increasingly difficult to access, due to fighting, or because under Russian Federation control. Civilian casualties have increased and large-scale destruction of civilian infrastructures, including private housing, have been reported. However, many inhabitants are still living in these conflict areas, either because they were not able to leave, or they want to stay in their villages or cities. In those areas, public services are strongly affected: water, electricity and gaz networks are not functioning properly or fully destroyed. Access to essential items such as food, drugs, fuel and NFI is a vital need for the population, as they are no longer accessible, and the economy and markets are no longer functional. In some areas, the banking system is as well affected.

  • Distribution of in kind food, shelter and WASH NFIs
  • WASH interventions in punctual basis
