The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is appealing for $255 million to assist 2 million people in Ukraine in 2025 as the war nears its fourth year.
Nearly a third of Ukraine’s population requires humanitarian aid, with internally displaced persons and returnees among the most vulnerable, IOM stated. Of the country’s 3.7 million displaced individuals, nearly two-thirds have been away from home for over two years, while thousands continue to flee frontline areas each month.
Many displaced people have exhausted their savings and struggle to afford basic necessities. While 4.2 million have returned, many face financial hardships, often resorting to low-paid jobs or selling belongings.
IOM urged donors and partners to support long-term solutions to reduce dependence on aid and pave the way for recovery.
