Reflecting on Four Years Since the Full‑Scale War in Ukraine

Описание: Today marks four years since the full‑scale war in Ukraine began - a stark reminder of the immense challenges still faced by millions of people.

To recognise this moment, we are sharing a video from Leila Osman, one of Jersey Overseas Aid’s (JOA) Junior Programme Officers, who has spent the past two years working for the UN’s refugee agency, UNHCR, in Ukraine. Through her experience, we reflect on both the resilience of affected families and the dedication of those delivering humanitarian assistance every day. Since February 2022, UNHCR have repaired over 55,000 homes, provided over half a million emergency shelter kits, reached 2.4 million in cash assistance and provided close to 700,000 legal counselling sessions to displaced people, returnees and other war-affected people.

In addition to supporting UNHCR’s work, JOA - in collaboration with the Bailiff’s Appeal - has supported multiple agencies responding to the needs of the affected population including health, education, mine disposal and cash assistance. A full list of the support provided can be found at https://joa.je/our-work/humanitarian-respo....

Jersey Overseas Aid remains committed to supporting communities affected by the war and to standing alongside partners who continue to deliver vital assistance across Ukraine each day.
