      <title>Nearly 3.9 million people flee Ukraine: UN
</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GENEVA: Nearly 3.9 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia’s invasion a month ago, UN figures showed Monday, with the flow continuing to slow.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, said 3,862,797 Ukrainians had fled the country – an increase of 41,748 from Sunday’s figures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Around 90 percent of them are women and children, it added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of those who have left, 2.2 million have fled for neighbouring Poland, while more than half a million have made it to Romania. Nearly 300,000 have gone to Russia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before the crisis began a month ago, EU member Poland was home to around 1.5 million Ukrainians.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In total, more than 10 million people – over a quarter of the population in regions under government control before the February 24 invasion – are now thought to have fled their homes, including nearly 6.5 million who are internally displaced.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ukraine’s refugee crisis is Europe’s worst since World War II.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The UN children’s agency, UNICEF, said Thursday that 4.3 million children – more than half of Ukraine’s estimated 7.5-million child population – had been forced to leave their homes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It puts at some 1.5 million the number of those children who have become refugees, while another 2.5 million are displaced inside their war-ravaged country, it said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The number leaving daily has fallen well below 100,000 per day, and even 50,000 in recent days, even as living conditions in Ukraine worsen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The figures do not include citizens of neighbouring states who have left Ukraine to return home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3.7 million people flee Ukraine: UN&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here is a breakdown of which neighbouring countries Ukrainian refugees have headed to, as of Sunday afternoon. Russia’s figure relates to end Tuesday:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Poland&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Six out of 10 Ukrainian refugees – 2,293,833 so far – have crossed into Poland, according to UNHCR.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many people who cross into Ukraine’s immediate western neighbours continue on to other states in Europe’s Schengen open-borders zone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many are also going in the opposite direction. Border guards said last week that some 274,000 people have left Poland for Ukraine since the war began.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Romania&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some 595,868 Ukrainians have entered EU member state Romania, including a large number who have crossed over from Moldova, wedged between Romania and Ukraine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The vast majority are thought to have gone on to other countries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moldova&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Moldovan border is the nearest to the major port city of Odessa.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;UNHCR said 383,627 Ukrainians had crossed into the non-EU state, one of the poorest in Europe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To reduce congestion, organised convoys leave daily from the Palanca crossing for Romania, with the most vulnerable prioritised for transfer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hungary&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some 354,041 Ukrainians have entered Hungary, according to UNHCR.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Slovakia&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some 282,886 people have crossed Ukraine’s shortest border into Slovakia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Russia&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some 271,254 refugees have sought shelter in Russia, according to UNHCR figures last updated on March 22.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition, 113,000 people had crossed into Russia from the separatist-held pro-Russian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine between February 21 and 23.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Belarus&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some 9,075 refugees have made it north to close Russia ally Belarus.&lt;/p&gt;
