From the British Red Cross...
We are gravely concerned about the intensification of fighting in Ukraine over the past few days. People are losing their homes and lives; families are being separated. Essential services, like water and healthcare, are under threat.
The people caught up in this conflict must be supported and protected.
Even before recent developments, this eight-year conflict has hit people daily on all levels. It's brought suffering, death, injury, and separation from loved ones, as well as the huge mental toll of ongoing violence and insecurity.
We fear further escalation will worsen an already appalling humanitarian situation and wreak havoc on more lives.
How will my fundraising help people in Ukraine?
As the security situation allows, the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will continue to respond to existing and emerging humanitarian needs. The Red Cross has supported people affected by this conflict for years and this will not stop now.
Your donation could help someone affected get food, water, first aid, medicines, warm clothes, and shelter.
Your support will mean we can reach even more people in desperate need. Please donate today.
The Ukraine Crisis Appeal will support people in areas currently affected and those potentially affected in the future by the crisis. In the unlikely event that we raise more money than can be reasonably and efficiently spent, any surplus funds will be used to help us prepare for and respond to other humanitarian disasters anywhere in the world.
