Additional Context: Shelter response gaps have been most pronounced in areas located 20–50km from the front line, which sustain high levels of attacks and damage but are accessible to humanitarian responders, while some longer-term development-oriented shelter initiatives continue in central and western oblasts. The lack of these service points could create protection and preparedness risks for community members, who otherwise may lack electricity, heat, and water for long periods amid cold weather conditions.

The analysis draws on a survey ACAPS conducted to assess the impacts of the U.S. foreign aid suspension, specifically on the humanitarian response in Ukraine. Sixty-nine representatives of international, national, and local humanitarian organizations responded to the survey, the insights from which were also supplemented with a secondary data review of publicly available information and key informant interviews with 27 humanitarian and development organizations.
