UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency, estimates that there are currently more than 17,500 internally displaced people (IDPs) in Ukraine. About 11,000 of these are former Crimea residents who fled the peninsula after its annexation by Russia in March. The rest are eastern Ukrainians forced out of their homes by the separatist conflict. The majority are women and children, about one third are children, says Oldrich Andrysek, the agencys representative for Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine. There are relatively few old people, pensioners. They are reluctant to leave their homes even though conditions are very bad. rferl.org/content/ukraine-refugees-idps-crisis/25421504.html
