WFP is working with the Moldova Government, UNHCR, IOM and EUCPT to produce an estimation of possible refugee influx peak should the security situation in Southern Ukraine deteriorate.
The Government of Moldova and humanitarian community is contingency planning should there be a significant escalation of conflict in the South of Ukraine. More than one million people could flee from the greater Odessa region and its neighboring Oblasts.
Consequently, WFP humanitarian response may need to be linked to a resilience enabler and partner for the Government of Moldova.
In this line, WFP has already ensured coverage of 100% of needs in the Moldovan refugee accomodation centers via contracts with caterers, cooperating partners or coordination with other food security actors via the Food Security Working Group.
