About 5.2 million people have fled Ukraine, UNHCR

The total number of Ukrainians who have fled the country amounted to about 5.2 million, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR’s data tracker on Saturday.

The UN organization said millions of Ukrainians have fled, either displaced by crossing the border into neighboring countries or finding refuge elsewhere in Ukraine since the outbreak of the Russian offensive on February 24.

Poland still tops the list of countries with the highest number of Ukrainian refugees, totaling 2.9 million people, followed by Romania with 774,094 people, and the Russian federation with 578,255.

Previously, the UN organization wrote on Twitter, “this is the fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II.”
