Explore the dashboard that maps Ukraine´s refugee situation
In 2011, UNHCR – the United Nations Refugee Agency - set up the
Operational Data Portal
[https://data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/ukraine] as information and
data sharing platform to facilitate coordination of refugee
emergencies.   

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the
portal provides daily updates on the number of Ukrainians fleeing the
country and support the provision of humanitarian aid. 

At the moment of writing, more than 3 million refugees have already
fled Ukraine and crossed borders into neighbouring countries of
Poland, Romania, Republic of Moldova, Hungary, Russian Federation,
Slovakia, and Belarus. Besides the influx of refugees´ per receiving
country, the dashboard also provides interactive charts showing the
number of refugees fleeing Ukraine by date and month. 

The portal statistics are compiled from a variety of sources, but
mainly based on data made public by authorities from official border
crossing points. This proves how important it is for governments to
make their data public and how powerful the re-use of this open
information can be to cope with today´s societal challenges.
