At the gates of Europe, Ukraine is the scene of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis since the Second World War. Between Kharkiv and Kiev, bombings are multiplying, forcing the population to take refuge in shelters or to flee.
18 million people affected (Ukraine and neighboring countries);
12 million in need of humanitarian aid;
Over 1 million people internally displaced;
Over 1.5 million refugees;
6.7 million people at risk of displacement;
More than 2.7 Million people registered with disabilities, including 164,000 children;
2 Million people living with rare health conditions, many of which require specific medication.
Today, more than 1,000 days after the escalation of the conflict, civilians are still the first victims of armed violence, and thewhole of Ukraine is still under the threat of air raids, with the east and south of the country particularly hard hit by bombardments.
Humanity & Inclusion's essential role in a crisis such as this is to ensure that the needs of the most vulnerable are taken into account: older people, sick people, people with disabilities... All these people, among the most fragile and vulnerable, who have specific needs, who have difficulty moving around, are even more affected than others by the current crisis, even more at risk for their health and survival.
For over 2 years, HI has been providing physical and functional rehabilitation services to people with disabilities, injuries and chronic illnesses. These include many people displaced by conflict, who live in areas where access to healthcare is very difficult. Nearly 13,000 rehabilitation sessions have been carried out for 4,100 people in Ukraine since 2022.
To face this major crisis, we need your help.
Help us to intervene with the Ukrainian civilian population.
