HIGHLIGHTS
-
After seven years of conflict, women and children in eastern Ukraine remain extremely vulnerable. The conflict is putting civilians to the test: regular violations of the ceasefire damage homes and social infrastructure, lead to mine contamination and restrict access to services, threatening the mental and physical well-being of children. The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has created additional challenges for already weak health services.
-
In 2021, UNICEF will safeguard children’s rights to safety, health, education, psychosocial support, child protection and water, sanitation and sanitation (WASH) services and address the needs of more than 820,000 people. The response will address the impacts of the conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic in eastern Ukraine.
