When the war in Ukraine began nearly 2.5 years ago, no one knew it would continue this long and cause this much suffering.

But today, more than 10 million people remain displaced from their homes and a recent escalation in violence has put women and girls’ lives on the line.

UNFPA has been providing care on the ground in Ukraine since the first bombs fell and women and girls were rushed into bunkers and forced to give birth in subway stations. Those women and girls still need our support today. Will you make a gift and deliver lifesaving care to women and girls on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine and wherever support is needed most?

“When the alarm went off, we were all rushed into the shelter. Even the tiniest babies from the neonatal intensive care unit were brought down by nurses and aides, who carried them gently because they are too fragile for the mothers to move them on their own,” Oksana , who is 6 months pregnant and living on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine, shared with us.

“The ongoing attacks, the alarms – they have a profound impact on both the baby and the mother. It’s not just about me; it's about my unborn child. The anxiety from knowing an attack could happen at any moment is indescribable,” shared Yulia .

Oksana and Yulia were brought to the hospital to manage complications brought on by living in constant fear and stress. But targeted attacks have significantly damaged the power grid, leaving critical care in jeopardy.

“We’ve had to perform emergency procedures in complete darkness, relying on flashlights from our phones until the generators kicked in. Those seconds feel like an eternity when you're in the middle of a critical operation,” shared one UNFPA doctor.

UNFPA staff in Ukraine are overcoming these harsh conditions by moving delivery rooms underground and acquiring mobile incubators. With more than 230 recorded attacks on health care facilities in Ukraine this year, these underground delivery rooms are saving lives.

In addition to supporting centers like these, UNFPA has:

*
Operated

to

so

*
Provided

As the war in Ukraine worsens, will you make a gift to ensure women and girls have the lifesaving sexual and reproductive health care they need? Women and girls are still becoming pregnant, giving birth, and getting their periods in this crisis and they need our support. [[link removed]]
