Australian Red Cross contribution
Funds from the Australian Red Cross appeal have helped provide emergency relief and longer-term humanitarian support to people and communities affected by the crisis.
These donations have enabled Red Cross and Red Crescent partners to address immediate and longer-term needs in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, including to people who are displaced.
These services include:
- emergency relief assistance, such as the provision of shelter and accommodation, health care, access to clean water and sanitation, and cash payments
- deploying technical specialists from Australia to support the operation on the ground
- helping people restore contact with family members separated by the crisis
- monitoring and evaluation of the activities supported by donor funds.
Deploying specialist aid workers to support the humanitarian response
Responding to requests from Red Cross teams on the ground, Australian Red Cross deployed 19 delegates to support the humanitarian operation. These specialist aid workers bring expertise in key areas such as health, water and sanitation, logistics and protection to Ukraine and surrounding countries.
19 total deployments:
- 4 delegates deployed to the ICRC operation
- 15 delegates deployed to the IFRC operation
Australian Red Cross acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land, their ancestors and Elders, past and present.
