The United States is supporting Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Ukraine with an additional $186 million.
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken announced on Tuesday.
Blinken said the additional humanitarian assistance would support internally displaced persons and the more than three million refugees affected by Russia’s “premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified war in Ukraine”.
He added: “This will provide further support for humanitarian organisations responding to the crisis and complement the generosity of the neighbouring countries that are welcoming and supporting refugees.
“We call for an immediate end to Russia’s continuing war against Ukraine and for Russia to facilitate unhindered humanitarian access in Ukraine and safe passage for those who seek to leave the cities where they are trapped.
“Humanitarian aid deliveries must be allowed to continue without interference, and humanitarian workers must have safe passage to deliver aid and assistance to those in need.”
