November 2024 – The 2024 Humanitarian Needs Response Plan reports that 6.5 million people across Ukraine require support within the protection cluster and its sub-clusters. The ongoing trauma, increased levels of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and limited access to mental health services worsen the situation. The protection cluster identified psychosocial support as a key objective, with about 500,000 people across Ukraine requiring individual or group mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services.
