MISSION CONTEXT: Since April 2014, eastern Ukraine experiences a significant humanitarian crisis situation due to a persistence armed conflict, opposing the Ukrainian Government and Separatist forces. As of October 31st 2015, UN OCHA estimates that at least 7.883 people have been killed in the conflict and 17.610 have been wounded. In addition, 1.5 million people are estimated to be internally displaced into other parts of Ukraine and another 1.1 million have been externally displaced, primarily to the Russian Federation. UN OCHA has recently emphasized the impact of the restrictions on the freedom of movement of people and goods may have on education and health. As of March 2016, the Ukrainian conflict seems to sink into a protracted crisis, where the line dividing the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in a government-controlled area (GCA) and a separatist-controlled area (NGCA) is somewhat stable. The humanitarian situation along the contact line is critical since the only persons left are the ones who could not flee because of their lack of mobility (PwD, elders) or the lack of means to pay for the transportation. In the so-called “grey zone” (+/- 10km on each side of the line), the remaining population faces extreme difficulties to access basic services since the state authorities withdrew from the area.
