Over 5 million people have fled Ukraine since the Russian offensive began on February 24, according to data released by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Friday.
The UN organization said 4,796,245 million Ukrainians have fled across the border, while the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that nearly 215,000 third-country nationals have also fled to neighboring countries.
Overall, more than a quarter of the population have fled their homes either displaced by crossing the border into neighboring countries or finding refuge elsewhere in Ukraine.
According to a UNHCR tracking website, Poland still leads countries with the highest number of Ukrainian refugees, totaling 2,720,622, ahead of Romania 2nd with 726,857, and the Russian Federation 3rd with a total of 484,725.
Previously, the UN organization wrote on Twitter, “this is the fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II.”
