Children and families throughout Ukraine are either fleeing, hiding, or worse after Russia attacked the country from three sides early on February 24. This invasion is the latest in an ongoing conflict that has killed thousands of people since 2014, and U.S. officials have estimated that a large-scale attack like this one could cost an additional 50,000 lives and displace up to 5 million people. Imagine being a child swept up in this crisis.
ChildFund’s German sister organisation, ChildFund Deutschland, has worked in Ukraine for many years and is acting quickly to provide emergency aid to children and their families. Support helps deliver relief as the crisis unfolds.
