In 2024, more than 660 humanitarian organizations assisted 8.4 million people across Ukraine under the 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan, which was 73 per cent funded.
Throughout 2024, repeated attacks damaged or destroyed energy infrastructure and disrupted essential services like water, gas and heating. Homes, hospitals, and schools were also damaged. In the regions of eastern, southern and north-eastern Ukraine, intensified fighting shifted the front line, forcing more people to flee.
Continued attacks impacted the ability of humanitarian organizations to reach affected people with emergency assistance and services. Fifty-three humanitarian workers were killed or injured in 2024, including 10 aid workers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
By January 2025, nearly 980,000 people received winter-related assistance under the 2024-2025 Winter Response Plan, including support for winter energy, non-food winter supplies and uninterrupted health care during the cold season.
