UN agencies and their partners are providing support to thousands of people from the Kharkiv region in Ukraine who have been evacuated from frontline areas where intensive Russian air strikes continue.

The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said vulnerable boys and girls are among those arriving at a humanitarian hub in the main city, Kharkiv.

They include children with disabilities and those who had been living with foster families and will now need to be placed in new homes.

UN News’s Nargiz Shekinskaya asked Munir Mammadzade, UNICEF Head in Ukraine, about the challenges displaced families face.
