Countries: Czechia, Ukraine Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Please refer to the attached file. A. SITUATION ANALYSIS Description of the crisis From February 2022, Czech Republic was affected by the international armed conflict in Ukraine, resulting in widespread displacement and inflow of people displaced from Ukraine to the entire country. The emergency led to immediate humanitarian needs, particularly in the areas of food, shelter and protection, affecting at its peak over 700, 000 displaced people. The Czech Red Cross (CRC) was at the forefront of the humanitarian response from its onset. Throughout 2023, the situation in Czech Republic began to stabilize with the help of domestic and international humanitarian actors. Displaced populations were stabilized and their integration to the main society was underway. The main concern remained the primary and preventive health care as well as education for children, as both these sectors were under pressure in Czech Republic even before the conflict started. Unprecedented level of MHPSS needs was addressed by new programmes introduced to the Czech society, also with help of the CRC and its movement partner, IFRC. In 2024, Czech Republic remained affected by the protracted consequences of the conflict, with over 300, 000 people still in need of assistance. The challenges of integration, in sense of work, education and health care remained unsolved and additionally, shift in the public sentiment towards displaced people made their stay in the country a bit uneasy. As of 2025, the situation in Czech Republic remains protracted, with humanitarian needs that are moderate across the country. Uncertainty about the solution to the conflict are not helping with the MHPSS aftereffects. Lack of funding after major cuts from large donors, led to closure of several programs and projects supported mainly by UN agencies. Other humanitarian actors, including the CRC, scrambled to save what was possible, using their own resources. The situation continues to demand coordinated humanitarian action, particularly in inclusion to the society. Interventions planned for 2025 aimed to address mental health needs, with support to some other actors. While many policies were introduced to the Czech government response, there is a hanging uncertainty for the future support to the people displaced from Ukraine still numbering over 300, 000 people.
