Together with partners ADRA Ukraine and myrnenebo, World Food Programme is working in the #Kharkiv region to support people evacuated due to the recent waves of attacks.
So far our teams have distributed food rations to 780+ people and registered 600+ people for emergency cash assistance.
As 🇺🇦 families continue to cope with displacement, unemployment or reduced incomes due to the war, cash support remains critical.
Thanks to 🇪🇺🇩🇪🇳🇴🇺🇸and more, World Food Programme distributed US$200m in cash to more than 2M people last year.
