"A year of war has seriously affected access to crucial services throughout Ukraine and disproportionately impacted the lives of those displaced. The needs are staggering, and increasing. […]
Losing one’s home and the sense of safety it provides has far-reaching implications on a person’s life. In light of this, I am especially proud to report that IOM has become one of the most important providers of shelter in Ukraine. In frontline locations, IOM has reached over 140,000 families with immediate aid, while repairing over 200 structures like schools and public buildings where more than 51,000 internally displaced people across Ukraine have found temporary shelter.

Sadly, an estimated 15 million people – one third of the population – struggle with deteriorating mental health. In a country that has been so resolute in the face of unimaginable difficulties, it is imperative that we reinforce our mental health and psychosocial support programmes which are providing a much-needed springboard to community recovery.
The steps we have taken, delivering humanitarian assistance in an impartial manner to address the immediate needs of the most vulnerable, investing in private sector initiatives, and providing psychosocial and protection assistance to a war-weary population, bring comfort today, while investing in the future. Most importantly, these steps provide an essential intangible: hope.
Antonio Vitorino - IOM Director General
