Highlights
An early-June flare up in violence further aggravated the dire humanitarian conditions of children and communities in affected areas.
As result of the recent hostilities and continued shelling, more than 500,000 people – including an estimated 75,000 children – across the contact line in conflict-affected areas have been experiencing a critical water crisis.
UNICEF has responded by delivering safe drinking water by trucks to more than 65,300 people. In the past few months, UNICEF has provided safe drinking water to 234,300 people.
The shortage of essential drugs and vaccine supply continues to be a serious concern across the entire country.
In response to the vaccine shortage, UNICEF organized a National Workshop on the Vaccine Supply Chain for the Ministry of Health (MoH) and State Enterprise Ukrvacina to build the capacity of national teams on vaccine planning and forecasting, procurement, handling and distribution.
During the reporting period, UNICEF provided psychosocial support to 5,682 children through a network of community protection centres and schools. Since January 2015, 26,226 children have received psychosocial support.
