More than 6 million people have fled Ukraine, mostly women and children, while 8 million remain displaced inside the country, all of them in urgent need of humanitarian aid. Here’s how the IRC is helping.

The continuing war in Ukraine is causing extreme civilian harm, as millions of people have been forced to leave their homes and find shelter in neighbouring or further countries. Poland is one of the countries hosting the largest number of refugees from Ukraine. The IRC has worked in Poland since February 2022 to provide vital support to those affected by the conflict, so they can return home when it is safe, not because they have to.
