For the people that do leave their homes, finding steady work is the biggest problem, said Gumenyuk.
The UNCHR estimated that over 1 million people have been displaced by fighting between the Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Hromadske International's Ian Bateson and Angelina Kariakina spoke with Nataliya Gumenyuk.
