The Ukraine Regional SitRep#19 covers the humanitarian needs and response in Ukraine and neighbouring countries for the period May-June 2023.
The SitRep includes UNFPA’s response after the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam that caused massive floods, leaving behind an unconfirmed number of civilians killed and injured, forcibly displacing thousands and potentially affecting 100,000 inhabitants directly:
- In response to the urgent humanitarian needs in flood-affected regions, UNFPA joined several UN Inter-Agency convoys that were deployed immediately to those in need and distributed dignity kits to address the hygiene needs of affected women.
- The various services already provided in Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odesa (Survivor Relief Centre, “VILNA” Women-Friendly Space and Mobile Teams) scaled up their activities to respond to the increasingly urgent needs of women, girls and older persons. UNFPA also deployed additional Mobile Teams to Mykolaiv and Odesa to provide psychosocial support to evacuees.
- UNFPA continues to support 29 “Vilna” Women-Friendly Spaces across Ukraine, 28 Safe Spaces across Moldova, including eight Mobile Safe Spaces, and four Safe Spaces in Romania to conduct outreach activities targeting the refugees and host communities. UNFPA supports Safe Spaces dedicated to women, youth and older persons.
