International Medical Corps has expanded its relief efforts inside Ukraine in response to the war there, as well as in neighboring countries, to provide medical, mental health and protection services to the millions of people affected by the conflict, including refugees.
Through our eight operational centers throughout Ukraine and programs in Poland, Moldova and Romania, we are working with health agencies and local partners to provide the following:
• Primary and emergency health services
• Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), to treat the unseen wounds of war
• Gender-based violence (GBV) response services, and protection services for women, children and other people who face risks during conflict
• Cash assistance, enabling people to purchase food, blankets and other vital supplies
• Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services
• Medicines and medical supplies, including PPE, to help provide critical care and prevent infectious diseases among refugees and displaced populations
You can help provide relief to refugees, internally displaced people and at-risk communities in Ukraine and its neighbors.
