US EditionUNICEF Warns 70% of Ukrainian Children Lack Essentials Amid War Fallout
UKRAINE, JUL 9 – UNICEF reports 70% of Ukrainian children lack basic goods like food and shelter, a four-fold increase since 2021, amid ongoing conflict and attacks on infrastructure.
- On July 10, 2025, UNICEF reported that 70% of children in Ukraine—approximately 3.5 million—are living without reliable availability of essential goods and services due to the ongoing effects of the war.
- This severe deprivation follows Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which caused attacks on civilian infrastructure and resulted in 2,786 children killed or injured since then.
- The report reveals that nearly one in three children reside in households lacking working water and sanitation facilities, close to 50% have no safe places for play nearby, and numerous children are vulnerable to dangers such as family separation, abuse, and forced deportation.
- UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell highlighted the urgent need to safeguard Ukraine’s children from ongoing risks and underscored the importance of investing in their well-being to ensure a stable future and enduring peace for the country.
- The findings suggest urgent needs for humanitarian aid and long-term social infrastructure investments, as the humanitarian cost and material deprivation among children continue to worsen without ceasefire.
