Over 11 million displaced by Ukraine war, UN agency says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN migration agency now estimates that more than 11 million people have fled their homes in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion.
The International Organization for Migration, in its first such full assessment in three weeks, reports Tuesday that more than 7.1 million had been displaced within Ukraine as of April 1. That comes on top of the figure of more than 4 million who have fled abroad, reported by the UN refugee agency.
IOM says more than 2.9 million others are actively considering “leaving their place of habitual residence due to war.”
Ukraine had a pre-war population of 44 million.
The tally marks an increase from IOM’s tally in mid-March of more than 9.7 million displaced internally in Ukraine or driven abroad.
