ACTION AGAINST HUNGER: 1 Year Into the War in Ukraine: Refugees in Moldova

The conflict in Ukraine began a year ago. Since then, countless civilians have been killed. Millions of people have fled the violence, seeking refuge in neighboring Moldova, Poland, Romania, and other countries. In their search for safety, approximately 775,000 refugees crossed the Ukrainian-Moldovan border. More than 100,000 have remained in Moldova, while most found their way to other places in Europe. Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe, with 20% of the population living in poverty. When the conflict in Ukraine began, Action Against Hunger quickly mobilized to support refugees and vulnerable Moldovan families. Today, that work continues. Our teams are working with local partners to provide cash, hot meals, hygiene kits, cleaning supplies, and other essential supplies.
