Over 1.5 million people have fled Ukraine for neighbouring countries in what has been described by the head of the UN refugee agency as the fastest-growing refugee crisis Europe has faced since the Second World War.
“More than 1.5 million refugees from Ukraine have crossed into neighbouring countries in 10 days – the fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II,” Filippo Grandi, the head of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), said in a tweet on Sunday.
