Over the past eight years, the Ukrainian Red Cross has been on the ground delivering assistance to at-risk families including providing food, fuel for heating, medical supplies and support for housing.
Under mortal danger to themselves, Red Cross teams are still working tirelessly to help people and communities impacted by conflict. Around the clock, teams are providing emergency aid amid fear and uncertainty.
Since the conflict began in late February, the Red Cross has done the following:
- Distributed more than two tons of emergency aid, including food, bedding, tents, water and hygiene parcels to more than 400,000 people across Ukraine.
- Supported the evacuation of over 79,000 people from the towns of Energodar, Sumy, Kviy, Kharkiv and Kherson regions.
- Provided first aid training to more than 46,000 people across the country
- Distributed lifesaving medical supplies, including 2.5 tons of insulin, enough for 6,500 people in Odessa for six months and 9,000 people in Dnipro for three months
- Supported logistics pipelines into Ukraine to ensure critical items can be delivered.
