HIGHLIGHTS
Almost 260,000 persons are displaced throughout Ukraine as of 1 September. 94% come from eastern Ukraine.
At least 143,000 have fled in the past three weeks due to the intensified fighting in eastern regions.
The number of Ukrainians applying for international protection reached 121,190 in the Russian Federation and 4,106 across the EU.
To date, UNHCR distributed over 150 metric tons of humanitarian assistance to the regions hosting over 100,000 displaced persons. UNHCR has also coordinated the distribution of food provided by different foundations.
UNHCR is seriously concerned about the lack of availability of appropriate accommodation for IDPs in the upcoming winter season.
