Caritas Czech Republic and other Caritas’ from the Czech Caritas network have been working in Ukraine for a long time. Initially, aid focused mainly on social services, health and education, but also on supporting people affected by the conflict in the eastern part of the country. After the outbreak of war in 2022, we provided immediate humanitarian aid, financial support and psychological care. Our current focus is helping the internally displaced, for whom we primarily provide decent housing. Our assistance in Moldova is also significant, where we have helped 15,000 Ukrainian refugees.

3 million Ukrainians need humanitarian aid. Russian invasion is dramatically worsening the situation

The armed conflict in Ukraine that has been going on fo 8 years has so far cost 14 000 lives. It has driven 1.5 million people from their homes, and nearly 3 million Ukrainians are in need of humanitarian aid. People in the areas of fighting do not have adequate access to drinking water, food, elektricity, or healthcare. Russian attack on Ukraine will dramatically worsen the situation in the country, and tens of thousands more people will need help to secure their basic needs.
