The devastating impact of the war in Ukraine is being felt by crisis-affected communities around the world. People living in low-income, food import-dependent countries already impacted by conflict, COVID-19 and climate change are now suffering from the ripple effects of food supply chain disruptions, skyrocketing food prices and rising inflation. Drawing on the ̽����ѡ’s work in food insecure contexts, this report outlines how the ripple effects of the war in Ukraine are compounding a pre-existing hunger crisis, and how the G7 and wider international community can prevent the war from pushing other vulnerable communities closer to famine.

Conflict and crises weaken health systems, deplete essential health resources, and consequently lead to staggeringly high rates of maternal and newborn mortality. Pregnancy and childbirth do not stop in times of crisis, and neither should access to high-quality, life-saving care. Many of these deaths can be prevented with accessible and cost-effective interventions, yet these often remain under resourced and underdelivered in humanitarian settings, where heath systems are disrupted, and human resources are insufficient.

Moving to a new country can be an overwhelming and isolating experience for anyone. Refugees, who are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence and persecution, face particularly acute cultural, emotional and financial challenges during the resettlement process. ̽����ѡ's H.O.M.E. Program pairs volunteer groups with refugee families to help ease their transition into life in the U.S. through mentorship and financial and material support.
