Context
Despite significant international mobilization, the consequences of the conflict persist and are worsening in certain regions, particularly in the east and south of the country.
Ongoing violence, strikes on civilian infrastructure, and landmine contamination complicate access to aid and expose populations to serious risks. Approximately 3.7 million people are internally displaced, and 6.8 million refugees continue to live abroad.
The needs are multidimensional: access to water, electricity, safe shelter, food, healthcare, and education. More than 2 million homes have been destroyed or damaged, permanently affecting household security. The health sector has been particularly affected: more than 2,200 attacks on health facilities have been recorded since 2022, and more than 9 million people will need care in 2025, many of whom will require specialized treatment.
Children, older people, and people with disabilities are among the most vulnerable groups. Hundreds of thousands of children remain without access to formal education, and many are exposed to trauma, family separation, or violence.
In response to this situation, humanitarian actors are continuing their efforts to meet the most urgent needs while supporting the gradual reconstruction of the country. However, funding remains insufficient, with a gap of nearly $10 billion between estimated needs and funds available for 2025.

Since the start of the conflict in 2022, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL has been working alongside the Ukrainian people, responding to urgent humanitarian needs while supporting medium-term resilience in areas affected by the fighting. The organization’s work focuses on regions close to the front line or recently liberated, where humanitarian access remains challenging. Interventions include:
- distribution of essential goods: provision of hygiene kits, solid fuel, and insulation kits to cope with extreme winter conditions
- access to drinking water: rehabilitation of water supply networks, water transport by truck, and installation of mobile water treatment stations
- repairing shelters: rehabilitating damaged or destroyed homes and distributing cash to support households in newly liberated areas.
