Right now, Ukrainians are separated from their loved ones and fearing the worst every day.
When the full-scale war broke out, Alona's village in Zaporizhzhia came under attack. Alona recalls hiding in the bathroom with her two children. Her five-year-old daughter, Natalia, asked her: “Will we live, Mum?”
Soon after, Alona decided to flee with the children, leaving her father and other family members behind. She constantly worries for their safety.
Supporter, this is the reality for countless families that have been torn apart by conflict. They don’t know if their loved ones will survive or when the war will end.
UNHCR has been on the ground throughout the war, delivering life-saving aid to those in need – but the situation is only getting tougher with each passing day.
Attacks continue to kill people, destroy homes and force families to flee with little notice. At the same time, UNHCR is facing a devastating funding shortfall which puts Ukrainians’ lives at risk.
Without more funding:
77,000 Ukrainians will go without essential items such as blankets and mattresses
51,000 Ukrainians won’t have safe shelter in the aftermath of missile strikes
140,000 Ukrainians won’t receive the financial aid they need to buy food, medicine and clothing
Supporter, Ukrainians like Alona have already suffered so much.
Please donate urgently to ensure they don’t miss out on vital humanitarian aid. Lives depend on it.
My heart breaks for all the families who’ve been torn apart because of this war.
Alona says her only goal is to provide for her children. With your support, UNHCR can continue to assist Ukrainians like Alona until it’s possible for them to return home and reunite with their loved ones.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity – it means everything right now.
With gratitude,
Trudi Mitchell CEO
P.S. Deadly conflict is continuing to shatter the people of Ukraine. UNHCR will stay and deliver – but your help is urgently needed. Please donatenow to help save lives.
