Poverty remains a significant challenge for Ukrainian refugees in Moldova, with urban refugees experiencing comparable multidimensional poverty rates to the local population.

Key developments

New analysis indicates that 13.5% of urban Ukrainian refugee households in Moldova are multidimensionally poor, a figure close to the 10.5% reported for the urban Moldovan population. This suggests a shallower but differently composed poverty for refugees. UNHCR continues to provide operational response and assistance within Ukraine.

Key concerns

Funding for humanitarian operations remains well below requirements, with a significant gap between funds received and those needed to address the crisis. The ongoing humanitarian situation in Ukraine continues to demand substantial support.

Humanitarian impact

Over 1.4 million people are internally displaced within Ukraine, and a significant number of refugees are seeking safety in neighboring countries like Moldova. Poverty affects a notable portion of the refugee population, impacting their well-being and access to essential services.

Information gaps

Specific details on the types of assistance and services provided by UNHCR in Ukraine are not covered in the provided reports.
