UN Refugee Chief calls for peace in Ukraine

-The head of the UN refugee agency Filippo Grandi said Sunday that he hopes peace will prevail in Ukraine, with more than 4.8 million Ukrainians having fled their country since February 24. The UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM) says nearly 215,000 third-country nationals, largely students and migrant workers, have also escaped to neighbouring countries, meaning more than five million people total have fled Ukraine since the conflict began. Women and children account for 90 percent of those who have escaped. Beyond the refugees, the IOM estimates 7.1 million people have left their homes but are still in Ukraine.
