OCHA Field activities, Ukraine

Now in its eighth year, the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine has left 3.4 million people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance and protection. The COVID-19 pandemic has further strained people’s vulnerability, making them more dependent on the provision of humanitarian assistance and protection services. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) overall goal in Ukraine is to ensure the delivery of effective and principled humanitarian action that meets the needs of the most vulnerable people. To achieve this, OCHA supports the Humanitarian Coordinator and humanitarian partners in operational coordination, humanitarian financing, public information, humanitarian analysis, advocacy and information management. In its effort to help alleviate the suffering of the affected population and respond to some of the long-term consequences, OCHA established a presence in Kyiv shortly after the outbreak of the crisis in 2014.
