On 24 February 2022, after eight years of armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine and months of increasing buildup of tension that diplomatic efforts failed to deescalate, the Russian Federation launched a large-scale military offensive in Ukraine. Armed attacks and hostilities that were previously constrained to the conflict-affected areas in Donetsk and Luhansk have been reported from virtually all over Ukraine, with Russian troops advancing into the country from north (Belarus), east and south (Russia) and missile strikes affecting all major cities. This has resulted in loss of life, injuries, mass movement of the civilian population throughout the country and abroad, as well as destruction and damage of civilian infrastructure and residential housing. As of 7 March 2022, the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner records more than 1,200 civilian casualties, with 801 injured and 406 killed, including 27 children. The UN estimates that as many as 18 million people will be affected by the conflict, 12 million of whom are expected to need humanitarian assistance. Internally displaced people require multi-sectoral assistance in the areas of Shelter, Food, Non-Food Items, WASH and Protection, including psychosocial support. There are also multi-sectoral needs in the eastern parts of the country that face significant damage of civilian infrastructure, where essential public services have become disrupted or collapsed, particularly regarding Food, Shelter, and basic household items.
