Poverty levels among Ukrainian refugees in Moldova remain a concern, with urban refugees experiencing multidimensional poverty at rates comparable to the local population.

Key developments

A recent assessment indicates that 13.5% of Ukrainian refugee households in urban areas of Moldova are multidimensionally poor. This figure is slightly higher than the 10.5% reported for the urban Moldovan population, though the difference is within the sampling margin. UNHCR continues to provide various forms of assistance and services to affected populations.

Key concerns

The persistent multidimensional poverty among refugees highlights ongoing challenges in achieving self-reliance and integration. The funding for humanitarian operations remains significantly below requirements, potentially impacting the scope and scale of assistance.

Humanitarian impact

Over 1.4 million people are internally displaced within Ukraine, while 534 refugees are hosted in neighboring countries. The poverty assessment in Moldova suggests that refugees face significant economic vulnerabilities, impacting their well-being.

Information gaps

The specific types of assistance and services provided by UNHCR in Ukraine are not detailed in the available reports.
