The war in Ukraine continues to displace people, damage infrastructure, disrupt supply chains and hold back the country’s economy. A total of 5 million people (15 percent of the population) need food and livelihood assistance.
A total of 3.6 million Ukrainians are internally displaced and nearly 6 million are living as refugees in Europe. Many of those who remain have lost their livelihoods, especially in areas close to the front lines. Those who returned are struggling to rebuild their lives, having run out of money or found their homes reduced to rubble.
The war and the energy crisis – the latter resulting from attacks on infrastructure – are disrupting food production and commercial supply chains inside the country, leaving many communities in the east and south with no reliable access to food. The war has turned vast areas of farmland into deadly minefields - approximately 25,000 square kilometres of agricultural land are potentially contaminated with explosive ordnance.

WFP delivers food kits and ready-to-eat food rations, primarily in hard-to-reach and frontline areas under intense fighting, where commercial supply lines are disrupted and access to food is unreliable. Food kits typically comprise wheat flour, pasta, oats, buckwheat or millet, sunflower oil, canned meat or beans, sugar and salt.
