The worsening military invasion of Ukraine by Russia since Feb 24, 2022 has massive geopolitical consequences. Up to May 4, 2022, more than 5·7 million refugees have fled into surrounding host countries in Europe.
¹ In late April, 2022, I returned from 6·5 weeks as the Emergency Coordinator for the WHO refugee health response at the Refugee Health Extension, a small hub created to support strategies, guidance, systems, and interagency and intercountry coordination for the Ukrainian refugee health response based in Poland. This humanitarian response is different from my previous humanitarian experiences.
