Distressing images and videos documenting these scenes have been seen by millions around the world, as Russia continues to invade Ukraine. This invasion has left more than 350,000 school children with no access to education, according to a recently published report from UNICEF. The report, which calls for over $66 million in donations to aid and provide access to basic services for Ukrainians, highlights just how education has taken a hit from the ongoing conflict.

The Ministry of Education reported that 33 schools with around 5,5000 students have closed for in-person learning because of “insecurity in areas along the line of contact.” “The direct and indirect effect of the protracted conflict in eastern Ukraine continues to significantly impact the lives of children and young people,” the organization continues, “leaving families on both sides of the contact line in urgent need of sustained humanitarian assistance.” Over 100,000 people have crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Poland officials say. The ministry posted images of Ukrainian refugees at the Medyka crossing, with one image showing a border guard hugging a young child.
