The war in Ukraine 1 year on: the need to strategise for the long-term health of Ukrainians
1 year has passed since the unprovoked war by Russia on Ukraine began on Feb 24, 2022. The horrendous suffering and deaths among Ukrainian civilians and the massive loss of life in the military on both sides are tragic. The UN estimates there have been 7155 conflict-related civilian deaths with 11 662 people injured, which are probably gross underestimates.1 There are about 5·4 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine, and more than 8 million refugees,2 most of whom have temporary protection status and reside throughout Europe.
