MISSION PRESENTATION
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. With winter approaching rapidly where temperatures may drop to -20 Celsius, many people continue to have limited or no access to humanitarian assistance.

Furthermore, there have been an increasing number of mine-related incidents affecting the civilian population. Since the renewed ceasefire on September 1st until October 31st, the Office of the High Commissioner for human rights has reported 43 civilian victims (9 killed and 34 injured), 35 of which were victims of landmines and other explosive remnants of war. With winter approaching civilians might increasingly venture into heavily contaminated areas in search of firewood. In spring, the need to cultivate land could increase exposure to risks related to mine and UXO contamination.

Since July 2015, Handicap International has been implementing its activities in Eastern Ukraine to address some of the most urgent needs, currently focusing on two main aspects:

1. ‘Specific needs’: Vulnerable persons including people suffering from injuries and disability have urgent specific needs and local institutions and charitable organizations have difficulties to cope with the decreased capacity and increased influx of people. In this regard, HI wants to support individuals and health facilities in being better able to cope and address the specific needs.
2. ‘Mine risk education’:HI is implementing mine risk education activities currently focusing
