The UK has contributed £20 million to UNICEF's appeal for Ukraine and the region. This support has helped UNICEF provide targeted child protection, formal and non-formal education to over 850,000 children, as well as access for Ukrainian children to essential services including health, nutrition, specialist trauma, psychosocial support and Gender Based Violence services. An assessment of UNICEF delivery will be published in the Annual Review of the UK's humanitarian support this year.
