In Ukraine, over 1,000 volunteers have joined the Ukrainian Red Cross in the last few days. These volunteers are delivering humanitarian assistance where the security situation allows. Under mortal danger themselves, they are still working tirelessly to support their communities. 

Even amid fighting that limits humanitarian response, the Ukrainian Red Cross is supporting people and communities affected by conflict. Photo: Ukrainian Red Cross
