UNITED NATIONS, 13th April.
UN migration agency on Friday warned that Ukrainians remain under “constant attack” and 3.3 million living on the frontline need emergency assistance urgently.

IOM chief Amy Pope warned that the situation is worsening for many in Ukraine days after rocket fire killed dozens in the east and south of the country.

“Displaced people and host communities need urgent assistance as they continue to endure missile strikes, destruction of infrastructure and frequent power cuts” Ms. Pope said.

The agency estimates 800,000 children live on the frontlines, just some of the more than 14.6 million people in Ukraine who need humanitarian aid amid Russia’s continuing invasion.

UN agency has helped thousands of displaced people near the frontline and elsewhere in Ukraine with immediate and longer-term needs, including restoring livelihoods and supporting community resilience.
