In Poland, a substantial number of refugees struggle to cover their basic needs, despite the enabling legal environment and access to different social assistance mechanisms. Third-country nationals (TCNs) who fled from the conflict in Ukraine are particularly affected. In addition, needs also exist at the Poland-Belarus border, which has seen an increased influx of migrants and asylum seekers into Polish territory since the end of 2021.
