More than 8 million refugees from Ukraine have been recorded across Europe, nearly one year since Russia invaded, according to the U.N. refugee agency.
Poland has seen the largest numbers of Ukrainian refugees, estimated to be around 1.5 million, followed by other European countries like the Czech Republic and Slovakia, due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Celina Kretkowska-Adamowicz, director of program operations for Save the Children in Poland, told ABC News that, as of now, “the biggest need is financial support.”Bernat Armangue/AP, FILEThough people are still crossing the border from Ukraine to Poland, “now, the situation is more stable, the movement of people is also more stable, and the needs are more longer-term,” she said.
Kretkowska-Adamowicz said “child protection, education and the provision of emergency assistance through cash voucher[s]” are among some of those longer-term needs that Save the Children has been helping with.“But then after a while, they find out that they are not able to live like this,” she said, “and then they decide to go back to Poland.
As more refugees are settling in host countries, education and mental health have become more prominent issues, she added. “Access to inclusive and equal education is difficult,” Kretkowska-Adamowicz said. “We are seeing as well, now, increasing issues related to mental health.”
