Since the con몭ict in Ukraine started on February 24, about 4 million people have 몭ed their homes. This is about 10% of the country’s 44 million population. Half of the refugees are children.

The invasion of Ukraine has caused a humanitarian crisis and forced thousands of people to 몭ee their homes. Here are some ways you can help.

Donate Cash The best way to help these refugees is by giving them cash. They will most likely need help 몭nding a way to meet their basic needs once they reach another country.

Staying in the Loop The invasion of Ukraine has been going on for a long time. Learn more about its history and how it started by following the latest developments in the war and the stories from reliable sources. You can also help support the work of local news outlets such as The Kyiv Independent and Olha Konsevych. Journalists such as these are often put at risk by the war in Ukraine, and you can help protect them by donating to Internews.

Being Open to Refugees Before the invasion of Ukraine started, about 1.5 million people were internally

displaced. Now, nearly 4 million people have left the country. Many of them are refugees who 몭ed to other countries, such as Syria and Afghanistan. You can help these individuals by donating to humanitarian organizations such as the International Rescue Committee.

If you’re in a region near Ukraine, you can also help the refugees by letting them stay in your home. Through Airbnb’s program, you can provide free housing to up to 100,000 individuals from Ukraine.

Support Every Kind of Refugee Non-white individuals, such as African-Ukrainians, are experiencing discrimination at the border. Many are reportedly being turned away because they are white, and they are given priority when it comes to getting aid and crossing into other countries. These individuals already face higher risks and cannot always receive the support they need.

Join the Fight Support the victims of the Russian invasion by raising your voice in support of those a몭ected by the con몭ict in Ukraine. You can also help by calling for political and diplomatic solutions to the crisis.
