Moldova Update
The population movement out of Moldova back to Ukraine
remains high, and of the 530,867 individuals that entered the
country since February, around 83 percent (442,275
individuals) have left. Currently, there are approximately
88,592 refugees in Moldova.

WFP has provided its second round of cash assistance to

more than 8,000 Moldovan households with an operational
telephone feedback hotline for recipients.

WFP is also providing three hot meals per day to refugees

living in roughly 90 Refugee Accommodation Centers (RAC)
in 31 locations. It provided 650,826 hot meals to date, about
1,930 individuals on a daily basis.

*(WFP has an operational presence in Moldova and a small

number of staff located in Poland, and Romania, to support
Ukraine with supply chain corridor support for food commodity
movement and liaison with national authorities)

Funding Outlook
WFP thanks all donors who have generously supported the
people of Ukraine through the Limited Emergency
Operation. The extension of the LEO operation is being
drafted and will extend the operation to 31 December 2022.
The value of the budget increase is expected to be under
USD 1 billion.
