War in Ukraine

In late February 2022, attacks by Russian forces on multiple cities in Ukraine have since caused the displacement of over one million people.

As war spreads throughout Ukraine, people are fleeing the country. They are exhausted, scared and many are suffering from dehydration or hypothermia. Our teams in Ukraine have had to suspend our usual medical activities.

We are now scaling an emergency response in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. In addition to Ukraine, we have teams responding in Poland, Moldova, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Russia and Belarus.
