Help, Health & Hope for Ukraine
It has been one year since the war in Ukraine began. World Hope International was ready to respond to the need by supplying trauma first aid kits, medical supplies, anti-trafficking training and individual water filters for quick access to clean water.
The Crisis Continues
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 continues to profoundly impact the lives of people across the country at various levels. The frontline is constantly shifting, and there are areas controlled by Russian forces as well as cities under siege. Aerial attacks on military installations and critical civilian infrastructures are taking place throughout Ukraine, often resulting in civilian casualties.
The invasion has resulted in the displacement of nearly 8 million Ukrainian refugees across Europe. Moldova has registered over 721,000 border crossings from Ukraine since February of 2021, as those displaced make their way through Moldova to other countries. There are currently 102,283 Ukrainian refugees registered in Moldova. Another 6.4 million people are estimated to be displaced within Ukraine itself.
The conflict has caused the largest population movement in Europe since World War II. By October 2022, OCHA (Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) numbers 17.7 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.
World Hope has responded since the conflict began, but the need remains. Your support will allow us to continue working with our partners to bring help, hope and healing to Ukrainian refugees in Moldova and be ready to answer wherever the call to help is sounded.
