The office will cover six regions in western Ukraine: Rivne, Ternopil, Volyn, Lviv, Zakarpattia and Ivano-Frankivsk. Its goal is to coordinate all organizations that currently support Ukraine to increase humanitarian assistance and social and legal protection for those who need it the most.

“We are now creating a hub in Lviv – an office that will include six regions of Ukraine. And we aim to coordinate the efforts of partners in all sectors,” said Palonka.

According to her, among the priorities are food needs, as well as financial assistance, shelter, education and preparation for winter in these areas.

“We know that more than 240,000 internally displaced persons are in the Lviv region and many other IDPs are in other western regions, so we will coordinate the activities of local partners, non-governmental organizations and the UN so that together we can provide effective assistance.”
