1,000 Days of Full-Scale War on Ukraine: UNHCR Urges Solidarity with Victims
- November 12, 2024
Today marks 1,000 days since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine. The war has caused immense suffering and displacement, with an estimated 14 million people forcibly displaced within Ukraine and over 8 million seeking refuge in neighboring countries.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been on the ground in Ukraine since the start of the conflict, providing lifesaving humanitarian assistance to those affected. The agency has provided shelter, food, water, and other essential items to millions of people, and has also worked to protect the rights of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
In a statement released today, UNHCR High Commissioner Filippo Grandi urged the international community to continue to stand in solidarity with the victims of the war in Ukraine.
“The people of Ukraine have endured unimaginable suffering over the past 1,000 days,” said Grandi. “They have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. They have been forced to flee their homes and seek safety in unfamiliar places. We must not forget them.”
Grandi called on the international community to do more to support the people of Ukraine, both those who have been displaced within the country and those who have sought refuge abroad. He also urged the international community to continue to pressure Russia to end the war and respect international humanitarian law.
“The war in Ukraine is a tragedy for the people of Ukraine and for the world,” said Grandi. “It is a violation of international law and a threat to global peace and security. We must all work together to end this war and to ensure that the people of Ukraine can rebuild their lives in peace and dignity.”
