Dear John, unfortunately I must tell you that over 3 million refugees have now fled from Ukraine.

“Targeting civilian people and structures violates international law”

UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi

Children. Civilians. Hospitals. Health care workers. Schools. Humanitarians. They are #NotATarget.

Our teams at UNHCR are on the ground in Ukraine and at the borders working together with national authorities and partners to provide vital support for people forced to flee.

• Trucks full of supplies have been dispatched to Ukraine from a newly established warehouse in Poland, with the first delivery of 8,600 blankets and 3,000 mattresses to the municipality of Lviv —and more is on the way
  
  
• 1,400 square metres of tarpaulins have been delivered in eastern Ukraine for families whose homes were damaged to protect them from the cold
  
  
• We are supporting local authorities to establish and expand transit centres for IDPs in western Ukraine
  
  
• In total, relief items for 1.5 million people have been mobilized from our warehouses for distribution to displaced people and others affected by the conflict whenever and wherever it is safe to do so
