BERLIN (AP) — The United Nations appealed on Monday for $4.2 billion to help people in Ukraine and displaced outside the country this year, saying that people on the front lines have “exhausted their meager resources” and many refugees also are vulnerable
This is the best summary I could come up with:
About three-quarters of the total, $3.1 billion, is meant to support some 8.5 million people inside Ukraine.
“In front-line towns and villages, people have exhausted their meagre resources and rely on aid to survive,” it said.
“Hundreds of thousands of children live in communities on the front lines of the war, terrified, traumatized and deprived of their basic needs.
“Homes, schools and hospitals are repeatedly hit, as are water, gas and power systems,” he added.
Griffiths said donors covered 67% of last year’s appeal for $3.9 billion for people inside Ukraine, one of the best levels in the world.
“Amid everything else happening across the globe, we must stay the course for the people of Ukraine,” Griffiths told reporters.
