Overview of the situation:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022, Ukraine has become the scene of the world’s largest displacement crisis. Around a third of the Ukrainian population has been displaced in the meantime. It is estimated that around 3.7 million people are currently displaced within the country, while more than 6.3 million people from Ukraine have found refuge abroad. The situation is complex, as many people keep returning to Ukraine when their home regions are reported as safe – there are so-called “shuttle movements”.<\/p>\n

A total of 17.6 million people in Ukraine need protection and humanitarian support. However, the massive devastation and destruction of civilian infrastructure is making it difficult to access basic necessities such as food, water and medicine. The delivery of life-saving aid is proving difficult, as there is no safe access for humanitarian aid in the embattled areas. Nevertheless, Siemens Caring Hands e.V. and its partner organisations are doing everything they can to reach those most affected and provide them with life-saving support.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”2765″ img_size=”300×360″ add_caption=”yes” style=”vc_box_outline”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1709737810377{background-color: rgba(225,207,207,0.37) !important;*background-color: rgb(225,207,207) !important;}”][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes”][vc_column css_animation=”fadeIn” width=”1\/2″ animate_duration=”1.5″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How we support.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We have received numerous donations to implement more than 150 individual projects in Ukraine and neighbouring countries since the Russian invasion. In doing so, we prioritise strengthening and supporting various sectors and social groups. So far, we have focussed primarily on projects for the direct supply of essential goods, the provision of medical equipment, support for children and young people and the reconstruction of critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Further measures are being planned and implemented.<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeIn” width=”1\/2″ animate_duration=”1.5″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_images_carousel images=”3257,2980,2978,1890,2788,3084,2180,3082,3037,3024,2766,2789,2672″ img_size=”530×350″ onclick=”link_no” autoplay=”yes” wrap=”yes” css_animation=”none”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”65px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes”][vc_column css_animation=”fadeIn” animate_duration=”1.5″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_cta h2=”” txt_align=”center” style=”flat” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”Donate now” btn_style=”gradient-custom” btn_gradient_custom_color_1=”#d47b2c” btn_gradient_custom_color_2=”#d47b2c” btn_shape=”round” btn_align=”center” btn_css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1712143940921{background-image: url(https:\/\/siemens-caring-hands.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/FInal-background-v2.png?id=3771) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fsiemens-caring-hands.org%2Fdonate%2F|title:Spenden”]<\/p>\n

This donation has so far enabled 53 food banks across Germany to support the implementation of a wide range of projects that have not only helped the refugees from Ukraine, but have also strengthened and enriched the food banks themselves. 19 projects have already been successfully implemented or completed, and 34 more will be realised in the coming months.<\/p>\n
