UNHCR Chief Warns of Forgotten War in Ukraine as Displacement Reaches 10 Million

Urges U.S. and EU to Pass Aid Packages Amid Political Wrangling

UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi expressed concern that the war in Ukraine is being forgotten as the country prepares to mark two years since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.
Grandi reminded the international community that Ukrainians are living through a brutal war despite other global crises taking the spotlight.
The war has displaced 10 million people, with 3.7 million considered to be internally displaced and another 6.3 million categorized as refugees.
UNHCR has called for $4.2 billion to help Ukraine this year, slightly less than last year, focusing on the priority needs.
Grandi is concerned that humanitarian aid to Ukraine is being held up by political wrangling, urging the United States and the European Union to pass their aid packages.
