Ukraine - Emergency Response - In-Kind Assistance - CRCS - 2022

March 2022 – On February 23 2022 Russia initiated an invasion of Ukraine. The onset of hostilities has caused civilian casualties power and water infrastructure damage and people’s displacement mainly towards the west of Ukraine and into bordering countries. It is estimated that 12 million people require humanitarian assistance with more than 3.8 million people fleeing to neighbouring countries and over 6.5 million people internally displaced. With GAC’s support the Canadian Red Cross Society (CRCS) is providing logistical support to dispatch solicited emergency relief supplies to support humanitarian partners in the region to meet the emergency health and non-food item needs of people impacted by the crisis in Ukraine.

The expected outcome for this project is increased access to essential health assistance and non-food items to vulnerable and at-risk populations. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
