Working Conditions
The humanitarian situation in Ukraine remains critical amid ongoing international conflict. Since the escalation of the armed conflict on 24 February 2022, the destruction of vital civilian infrastructure continues to rise, leading to the destruction of homes across the country and cutting off access to critical services for millions of people. In 2025 in Ukraine, the UN estimates approximately 12.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. Ukrainian refugee numbers abroad stand at about 6,9 million, while 3,7 million people are internally displaced (IDPs) within Ukraine.
Generally, the severe damage to critical infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, and water treatment plants has compromised access to clean water, sanitation, and essential healthcare services. Constant and long-lasting disruptions to the power grid have plunged entire regions into darkness, hindering communication and hampering daily life.
With the humanitarian situation in Ukraine being a challenge and may deteriorate further, the International Red Cross & Red Crescent Movement has mobilised all its emergency response mechanisms. Together, ICRC, IFRC, Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) and National Societies are undertaking a coordinated response. As the conflict entered into protracted mode, Movement partners are pursuing their collaboration to answer the evolving needs, all over the country.
To learn more about the Red Cross Movement, we invite you to follow two online training courses, free of charge and accessible to all. W.O.R.C. (World of Red Cross and Red Crescent): this course covers topics such as the origin and history of the Movement, its fundamental principles, the emblem, the International Federation, the ICRC and the national societies. Stay Safe aims to develop a common culture of security management within the Movement.
