Winter's call for help from the UN: 14.6 million Ukrainians!

Genf, Schweiz - The world is facing a humanitarian crisis, because the number of the alarming mark of 123 million due to conflicts and wars has reached the highest number of all time. At a donor conference in Geneva, the Secretary General of the UNHCR, Filippo Grandi, revealed the frightening extent of this misery, while the war in Ukraine causes considerable damage and forced tens of thousands of people to escape. In particular, the situation in Lebanon and Sudan is described as "very worrying", because more than twelve million people from Sudan are on the run and the uncertainty in Lebanon increases as a result of military conflicts, such as Kleine Zeitung reported.

The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine is further tightened. Currently, 14.6 million people in Ukraine are dependent on urgently needed help - a shocking number that makes up almost 40 percent of the total population. The cold winter and the ongoing attacks increase the need for humanitarian support enormously. The United Nations and Partner Organizations asked for $ 4.2 billion in 2024 to support Ukrainian refugees and those concerned. The UNHCR plans to provide 1.1 billion dollars to help 2.3 million refugees and the recording countries, such as These helpful people mostly live in damaged houses in the war zones of Donetsk and Charkiw, without access to water, gas or electricity.

"Houses, schools and hospitals are affected as well as water, gas and power supply systems," emphasizes Martin Griffiths, the sub-general secretary for humanitarian affairs. Winter is an additional challenge for those who have to live under extreme conditions.
