HUMANITARIAN CONTEXT
Poland and Romania have played a crucial role as transit and destination countries for Ukrainians displaced by the war since 2022. Despite the challenges of integration in their new environments, almost 1.5 million refugees have been hosted in Poland and around 100,000 in Romania. However, the continuing insecurity in Ukraine is leading many of these refugees to consider staying in their host country.

OUR ACTIVITY
Since March 2022, Action Against Hunger has provided assistance through programmes implemented directly or in collaboration with local partners, both for refugees and the host community. The focus has been on mental health support through psychosocial and psychological support, recognising the fundamental importance of these aspects to overall well-being.
In addition, Action Against Hunger has provided cash assistance to refugees to enable them to meet their basic needs. Activities take place along the borders of Ukraine and Moldova, as well as in the two capitals, Warsaw and Bucharest. Action Against Hunger will close its programmes in Romania and Poland in May 2024 due to funding shortages and the fact that refugees have been progressively integrated into the social systems of the host countries.
