Ukraine Refugee Situation

Ukraine Refugee Situation

The full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has caused massive civilian casualties and the destruction of civilian infrastructure, forcing people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection and assistance. Since February 2022, millions of refugees from Ukraine have crossed borders into neighbouring countries, and millions more have been forced to flee within the country. They are in need of protection and support. In light of the emergency and the scale of humanitarian needs, an inter-agency regional refugee response is being carried out, in support of the efforts of refugee-hosting countries. The Regional Refugee Response Plan brings together national authorities, UN agencies, NGOs, as well as civil society organisations and focuses on supporting host country governments to ensure the inclusion of refugees, with full access to their rights, in line with international standards. It also prioritizes the provision of critical protection services and humanitarian assistance.

UNHCR Ethiopia | Operational Update | October 2024

This month, UNHCR called for the need to protect Eritrean asylum seekers in Ethiopia. In a press release shared in November, we warned of the steady influx of asylum seekers from Eritrea arriving in Ethiopia through the northern regions of Afar and Tigray, seeking international protection and basic assistance. We believe supporting newly arriving Eritrean refugees at an early stage is crucial to advancing their protection. UNHCR is ready to immediately support the Government to expand access to registration for Eritrean asylum-seekers in Ethiopia. For internally displaced persons, UNHCR joined forces with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to warn that internal displacement, driven by conflict and climate shocks, is reversing decades of poverty reduction in Ethiopia, and to say humanitarian aid is not enough.
