Solidarités International
Posted on: 31/01/2023.
Desired start date: ASAP
Duration of the mission: 06 months (to be extended)
Location: Mykolaiv
ABOUT THE MISSION
The conflict in Ukraine has seen a dramatic and rapid escalation since 24th February 2022 with massive multidimensional attacks from Russian troops throughout Ukraine, from the East, North, and Southern borders that affected a large part of the country including the capital, Kyiv. This attack has been immediately followed by massive displacements, and as of March 22ndabout 3 500 000 Ukrainians have taken refuge in neighboring countries and about 6 500 000 are internally displaced, mostly in the West part of the country.
IDPs have often lost their source of income and rely on relatives, host community and solidarity to find food and basic items. Housing is as well now scarce in the area; prices subsequently increased and the improvised transit centers, which are supposed to host IDPs for a few days before they manage to find accommodation, are already at the limit of their capacities.
Part of these people, coming from affected areas, are transiting & settling in Odesa region. To support them, SI has started cash assistance and is working with collective shelters to provide food kits, hygiene kits, and NFIs to the most vulnerable people.
SI also operates in Mykolaiv oblast. We have been supporting people, who were living in hard-to-reach areas, which were constantly shelled, and who could not leave their village or had decided to stay. Food and hygiene kits were distributed as well as pumps and generators to access water. Since those parts of Mykolaiv oblast have been newly accessible, cash assistance registration has started there. On top of it, SI has been providing water daily via water trucks to the population in Mykolaiv city since June and conducted wash rehabilitation.
A couple of months ago, SI team has been able to start activities in Kherson city by sending one water truck per day, which scaled up to two, and conducted assessments to initiate food and NFI distributions as well as cash assistance, which should be launched in the coming weeks.
