IBC has been at the field responding to the Ukraine crisis since March 2022. Initially it established an office and a warehouse in the Autonomous Unit of (ATU) Gagauzia responding needs of Ukrainian refugees in South Moldova. It expanded its emergency relief efforts in couple of months through southern border to Odessa Oblast, from Bolhrad up to Mykolaiv, and then reached to Kherson after its liberation.
IBC operates in the region in close communication and cooperation with local authorities and civil society within the framework of MoUs. Gagauz people; a Turkish-speaking Christian community in southern Moldova and southwestern Ukraine facilitate IBC in expanding its network in the region enabling rapid and continuous assessments, smooth custom clearance procedures during response and hands-on delivery to final beneficiaries at the field or close monitoring of aid if direct delivery is not the case due to security reasons.
Completed projects n Ukraine are:
Donation of 2 truckloads of medical supplies to 3 hospitals in Odessa Oblast.
Supporting operations of 1 IDP hosting center and 1 Elderly Care Center in Odessa Oblast in terms of bulk food, generators, firewood, textile items, and hygiene consumables.
