The war in Ukraine continues to drive humanitarian needs and demand for emergency assistance.
In front-line regions, ongoing attacks pose daily risks to civilians, damage homes and disrupt essential services such as water, gas and electricity.
Humanitarian operations in Ukraine remained constrained by active hostilities, particularly in the vicinity of the front line. Two aid workers were killed in the line of duty, and another 16 were injured in March and April alone.
Despite these challenges, about 2.3 million people across Ukraine received some life-saving assistance from humanitarian partners in the first three months of 2025.
Yet, humanitarian organizations have had to scale back or suspend critical programmes due to funding constraints, with ripple effects for some of the most vulnerable people.
Unless alternative funding is secured, the humanitarian community’s ability to sustain services and respond to new shocks will become increasingly strained.
