UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Orlando Bloom visits School #2 in Myronivskyi, just kilometres from the frontline in Eastern Ukraine. The school's basement served as a bomb shelter for the community during heavy bombardment in January and February 2015. The school originally had 800 pupils and now has 250, after people fled the area.

Across the conflict area, approximately 580,000 children are in urgent need of aid and more than 230,000 children have been forced from their homes. Around one in five schools and kindergartens in the region have been damaged or destroyed and around 300,000 children are in immediate need of assistance to continue their education. The trip came as new findings show that nearly a quarter of the world's school-aged children - 462 million - now live in countries affected by crisis.
