- NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Concern Worldwide helped over 65,000 people in Ukraine during the first year of the conflict, but the humanitarian toll from the fighting continues to grow.
- "Supporting the needs of internally displaced people is a major challenge, as more and more people move to so-called safer areas," Concern's Ukraine Program Director, Erica Niel, said.
- "The scale of the impact which the conflict is having on civilians and civilian infrastructure, and the resultant scale of humanitarian need within Ukraine is huge.
- We are concerned that it will only grow if the much-discussed Spring offensive starts in the coming weeks."
