2024-2025 WINTER RESPONSE PLAN
As Ukraine approaches its third winter since the escalation of the war in February 2022, increased attacks on energy infrastructure since the end of 2023 and throughout the first half of 2024 and sustained hostilities impacting front-line cities, towns and villages continue to inflict severe suffering on millions of people.
To address the winter-specific needs, the humanitarian community launched the 2024-2025 Winter Response Plan, appealing for US$492.1 million to support 1.8 million people with critical winter-related humanitarian assistance as outlined in the 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan.
This Plan intends to support timely preparedness and response to winter-related humanitarian needs caused or exacerbated by the cold season in Ukraine from October 2024 to March 2025. The most vulnerable people will receive support in five key areas: Camp Coordination and Camp Management; Health; Livelihoods; Shelter and Non-Food Items; and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. Humanitarians will prioritize assistance to the most vulnerable people along the front line and in the oblasts bordering the Russian Federation.
This Plan has been developed to support the efforts of the Government of Ukraine and will be complemented by development and recovery actors to contribute to building the country’s resilience to the cold season.
