We thank them, on behalf of the humanitarian community and the people of Ukraine,” concluded Denise Brown. “This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our donors. More than $55 million has been channelled to projects and organizations supporting hospitals, displacement centres and other critical facilities with generators and people with winter supplies, as Ukraine faces a severe energy crisis in the middle of the winter. With this new disbursement, OCHA-managed humanitarian funds will have allocated over $252 million for life-saving operations in Ukraine since the Russian Federation’s invasion started on 24 February, including $192 million from the UHF and $60 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). However, 10 months later, their resources are being exhausted and they need support to sustain their vital assistance to the people of Ukraine,” said Denise Brown. The humanitarian community in Ukraine has had several meetings with these groups in different parts of the country. They are in the front line, taking risks to make sure people whose lives have been torn apart by months of war receive support for their daily needs: water, food, medicines, shelter when their houses have been damaged,” explained Denise Brown.
“These groups have always been the backbone of the humanitarian response in Ukraine and even more since the war started in late February.
