The United Nations launched two large-scale programs on emergency humanitarian aid to Ukraine. One of them is aimed at supporting people who are in the conflict zone. The other is to help those Ukrainians who were forced to leave the country. According to the UN Secretary General, almost US$2 billion will be required for these purposes. Both programs include the procurement of medicines, drinking water, tents and means of protection.
“The flash appeal for response inside Ukraine, which I am responsible for coordinating, will need US$1.1 billion in funding for three months to help six million of the most vulnerable in Ukraine for that three months. And of all those six million, we calculate, over a million, will be internally displaced. Those in need are not only those who move, but those in need will be those whose basic services have been destroyed, whose pensions have been stopped, whose healthcare is necessary,” said Martin Griffiths, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Emergency Relief Coordinator.
