Older people are disproportionately affected by the crisis
More than ten million people have now fled their homes in Ukraine due to the Russian invasion. For older Ukrainians, the situation is particularly dangerous. One out of four people in Ukraine is over the age of 60, making it one of the oldest populations in the world. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has determined that 32% of those in humanitarian need are 60+ years of age.
