On Feb. 24, 2022, Russia’s military began a broad military assault on Ukraine, involving air and missile strikes in main cities and an invasion of ground troops.

The humanitarian situation in Ukraine deteriorated drastically and rapidly in 2022. Millions of Ukrainians endured intense hostilities, which killed and injured thousands of civilians, forced millions from their homes and destroyed livelihoods. To this day, civilian infrastructure, including aid facilities, is being attacked.

In 2024, 14.6 million people need humanitarian assistance in Ukraine, about 40% of the population. Some 6.3 million people have fled the country and remain refugees, mostly across Europe.

The Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Recovery Fund focuses on addressing humanitarian needs that arise, particularly among the most vulnerable, marginalized and at-risk populations, such as internally displaced peoples (IDPs) and refugees, women and children, people with disabilities, older people, LGBTQIA+ populations and the Roma community.
