Nearly 57,000 Ukrainian refugees have fled their country in the last 24 hours, bringing up the total number to over 5.4 million, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees’ recent data (UNHCR).
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 Russian offensive began on February 24.
Additionally, women and children account for 90% of total refugees, UNHCR added.
Nearly two-thirds of Ukrainian children had to flee their homes, including those displaced in the country.
Over 7.7 million people left their homes but are still living in Ukraine, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Previously, the UN organization wrote on Twitter, “this is the fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II.”
