Brutal conflict in Ukraine has sent more than 3 million people on a desperate race to escape. Homes and infrastructure have been destroyed. Families have been separated. Lives have been lost. Our partners are working in Przemysl (Southern Poland) to meet the immediate needs of these refugees - providing support such as food, bedding and temporary accommodation in reception centers at the border.
Rapidly escalating conflict in Ukraine is causing a humanitarian catastrophe; massive movement of people fleeing to neighboring countries; mainly women and children. According to UN, 10 million people have fled from Ukraine; of those, almost 3.4 million, mostly women and children, have sought refuge in Poland.
