“Twelve million people need assistance currently because of the war in Ukraine. More than 6.5 million are displaced internally. And in less than three weeks, over 3.5 million people have left Ukraine and fled into neighboring countries. Nearly 2 million among them are women and children. Since the conflict began, nearly every second, one child from Ukraine becomes a refugee,” Global Citizen explains of the crisis. It states of what happens next: “We need to raise billions of dollars, not just millions at a global humanitarian pledging summit on April 9.” Find more information here.
