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 3.7 million Ukrainians are internally displaced and 5.1 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 World Food Programme (WFP) distributes food and cash assistance to Ukrainians displaced and affected by the war, supporting 860,000 people - 90 percent of them in frontline regions.
An estimated 123,000 refugees from Ukraine remain in Moldova, adding pressure to an already fragile economy. WFP provides hot meals to refugees in reception centres, along with cash to host families.
WFP also continues to support and advocate for the safe export of grain and other agricultural products from Ukraine – a vital source of affordable food for much of the world.
Unprecedented attacks on humanitarian operations and a critical funding shortfall are putting millions at risk of being cut off from life-saving assistance.
WFP urgently needs US$337 million to sustain operations to April 2026. Since the beginning of the year, we have had to stop feeding 1 million people. Without immediate funding, further cuts are inevitable.

Food assistance

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.
