VIDEO: Amid Stress and Sorrow, Support for Families Fleeing Ukraine
100,000 people are leaving every day as violence escalates in Ukraine
But amid all the sorrow, community volunteers are stepping up to distribute food and drink, look after children and otherwise assist displaced families in their flight to safety. UNICEF is on the ground in Ukraine, working around the clock from five country offices on both sides of the contact line to scale up operations to meet the mounting needs of families in crisis. In coordination with UNHCR, UNICEF is setting up 26 Blue Dot hubs in six neighboring countries to provide urgent assistance for refugee families.
UNICEF has issued an emergency appeal to help fund its relief operations in Ukraine and neighboring countries. Help UNICEF reach the most vulnerable. Donate today.
