The escalation of war in Ukraine in February 2022 caused a massive humanitarian crisis, as well as forced millions of people to leave their homes behind. There is a necessity for aid of both the people who escaped from the dangerous regions to different parts of the country, and the people who remained in their homes.
The extent of aid necessitated by the situation is massive. The people escaping from war must abandon and leave behind their prior life – they do not have employment, or money. They are in need of the basic products (food, warm clothes, hygienic articles, etc.). One of the most vulnerable groups are the children, to whom war poses as a source of extreme trauma. They need psychological aid, and access to further education and development.
Additionally, the elderly people also remain in a dire situation – they have difficulties to take care of themselves as a result of such demanding and drastic conditions. They are commonly alone – and thusly, without access to necessary aid.
