UN offers $5.7 billion for humanitarian aid to Ukrainians affected by war

This is stated on the UN portal with reference to the UN emergency coordinator Martin Griffiths.

The UN representative explained that 13.6 million war-affected Ukrainians received aid, and a total of 5.7 billion dollars was requested for Ukraine and the region next year.

According to him, the war in Ukraine has "turned part of Europe into a battlefield", and "as winter approaches, the situation is not getting any easier."

Griffiths stressed that nine months of war between Russia and Ukraine have disrupted food exports, and about 45 million people in 37 countries are currently starving. According to the UN Global Humanitarian Review, a record $51.5 billion will be needed to provide aid to the 230 million most vulnerable people in 2023, which is 25% more than this year.
