CRISIS OVERVIEW

In April 2014, fighting broke out between armed groups and government forces in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. As the conflict intensified and spread, children and adults were forced to flee their homes. In the depths of a freezing winter, many families living in the conflict-affected and non-government controlled areas do not have enough food to eat, roads are inaccessible and damaged houses do not protect children from the sub-zero temperatures. Many people also cannot access the medicine they need to survive. For internally displaced people now living in government controlled areas, unemployment is high and parents are struggling to provide for their children including finding safe accommodation.
