More than 5 million people have now fled the violence in Ukraine. A child from Ukraine has become a refugee almost every single second of the war. Children on the move are at risk of hunger, illness, trafficking and abuse.
Your donation today to the Children's Emergency Fund can help provide children and families at risk in Ukraine and around the world with immediate aid, such as food, water, hygiene kits, psychosocial support and cash assistance. Together, we can protect children in crisis.
Ukraine is the second-largest country in Europe, after Russia, and has an estimated population of 44 million. Sadly, children in Eastern Ukraine have grown up in conflict for the past eight years, enduring violence, shelling and being displaced from their homes. Today, fighting in Ukraine has forced children and families to seek refuge in neighboring countries, with more than 4 million people having now crossed the borders.
Ukraine’s children are caught in the crossfire of this adult war. It should never have come to this.
Save the Children has been operating in Ukraine since 2014, delivering essential humanitarian aid to children and their families. Your donation to the Children's Emergency Fund can help provide children and families impacted by the conflict in Ukraine and around the world with immediate aid, such as food, water, hygiene kits, psychosocial support and cash assistance. Together, we can protect children in crisis.
The situation is spiralling out of control. Heavy fighting, shelling and air strikes across Ukraine have had devastating consequences for children and families. A child from Ukraine has become a refugee almost every single second of the war.
Since the beginning of the international armed conflict in Ukraine starting February 24, 2022, there have been at least 3,000 civilian casualties. These numbers are beyond tragic, and likely an underestimate.
Air strikes and explosions have resulted damaged essential services like schools and hospitals.
The escalation in violence is also set to impact children in need across the world at a time when they are already bearing the brunt of the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the world’s worst hunger crisis this century.
Children on the move across Eastern Europe are at risk of hunger, illness, trafficking and abuse. Distressed children and mothers have been forced to leave fathers and husbands behind after authorities ordered Ukrainian men aged 18-60 to stay and fight.
Every effort should be made to find a diplomatic solution and avert an even more catastrophic war. Children must be protected from harm at all times.
Many children in Ukraine have already witnessed or experienced acts of violence over eight years of conflict.
Save the Children is urgently calling on all parties to the conflict to agree to an immediate cessation of hostilities to reduce the risk to children’s lives and wellbeing.
Children and families receive support from Save the Children in Romania after crossing the border from Ukraine.
Save the Children has been operating in Ukraine since 2014, including in the conflict-impacted regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.
This includes supporting their access to education, providing psychosocial support, distributing winter kits and hygiene kits, and providing cash grants to families so they can meet basic needs such as food, rent and medicines, or so they can invest in starting new businesses.
Our specialist teams are also providing children with access to safe, inclusive, quality education.
Together with schools and community centers, we work to help children overcome the mental and psychological impacts of their experiences of conflict and violence, and increase their resilience and ability to cope with stresses in their daily lives.
We call on all parties to the conflict in Ukraine to ensure full humanitarian access to all caught up in the Ukraine crisis.
