The humanitarian situation in Ukraine is extremely crucial. The human costs are high and humanitarian needs extensive. The UN estimates that one third of the total population are displaced internally or fled to other countries. The crisis has placed extreme humanitarian pressures on Ukraine and neighbouring countries. Denmark supports through several channels.
In light of the current humanitarian crisis, many private citizens and equipment have been initiated. It is important that this line of work takes place in cooperation with organisations who have experience with delivering donations and ensure they reach Ukrainians in need. Logistics is often complicated. Request from the humanitarian actors already on the ground in Ukraine and in neighbouring countries is therefore very clear: consider donating money in this situation. One way of doing this is through Danish emergency relief organisations or the various UN aid agencies. These actors are already operating on the ground in Ukraine, they know of the local needs and demands, they often have own storage facilities in place, and can ensure swift and efficient distribution of emergency relief to the Ukrainian people according to relevance and urgency.
