The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, said 3,862,797 Ukrainians had fled the country of which around 90 percent of them are women and children, given an increase of 41,748 from Sunday’s figures.
The UN children’s agency, UNICEF, said onThursday that 4.3 million children, more than half of Ukraine’s estimated 7.5-million child population, had been forced to leave their homes.
It puts at some 1.5 million the number of those children who have become refugees, while another 2.5 million are displaced inside their war-ravaged country, it said.
In total, more than 10 million people, over a quarter of the population in regions under government control before the February 24 invasion, are now thought to have fled their homes, including nearly 6.5 million who are internally displaced.
