More and more Ukrainians are losing everything, being displaced from their homes, and unsure where their next meal is coming from. Government aid is running out and humanitarian aid organizations are stepping into the gap to meet needs. But those needs are increasing as areas once thought safe from Russian attacks are now being destroyed by missiles.
Since then, countless innocent people living in major cities throughout Ukraine have experienced death, destruction, and devastation. Others have fled Ukraine for safety in neighboring countries, creating the largest humanitarian crisis since World War II. Today, a total of 10 million people are now displaced because of the war, which is nearly one-quarter of the total population of Ukraine.
One of the groups’ providing aid is Mission Eurasia. The ministry launched the Ukraine Emergency Relief Fund to provide food, medical assistance, housing, and spiritual care for the victims of the war in Ukraine.
Mission Eurasia is working closely with national churches in Ukraine, Moldova, and Poland to establish three refugee assistance centers—to receive refugees at the border, provide temporary shelter, food, and assist them with finding longer-term housing. In addition, these centers provide refugees with trauma counseling, copies of Scripture, and pastoral care.
And for those families still living in Ukraine, Mission Eurasia is providing emergency family food packages and medical supplies.
