In this edition, we explore how older people affected by the crisis in Ukraine continue to face complex challenges — from loss of homes and social networks to deteriorating health and reduced access to services. At the same time, we showcase how age-inclusive humanitarian action is making a difference.
Key highlights include:
-
Stories of older people who, despite displacement and adversity, are reclaiming agency and connection through peer-support groups, cash assistance, mobility aids and community safe spaces.
-
A spotlight on how older people are increasingly acting as partners in their own resilience and recovery — informing humanitarian responses, leading local groups and rebuilding social bonds.
-
A deeper look at how crises around services, social protection and access are especially acute for older people, and why inclusive design matters.
-
A call to action: older people must be visible in response planning, data collection and recovery strategies — so that aid, resources and policy leave no-one behind.
