The Programme
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine is resulting in unprecedented loss of life, damage, destruction and displacement. 18 million people, or half of the population, are projected to become affected, including already 6.7 million people newly internally displaced, most to the Western regions of Ukraine. Of the affected population, 12 million people are expected to need urgent humanitarian assistance.
Persons with disabilities are particularly vulnerable as they may be unable to flee or may stay in the impacted areas, resulting in risks to their lives, struggles to meet daily needs and challenges in accessing humanitarian assistance. According to the recent assessment 20% of both IDPs and non-displaced population are people with disabilities. Moreover, Ukraine has the highest rates of institutionalisation of children and adults with disabilities in Europe and the majority of them faced serious challenges during the recent evacuations.
