Présentation de la Croix-Rouge

Ukraine is facing a humanitarian crisis that is worsening every day. Since the escalation of the armed conflict on 24 February 2022, the destruction of vital civilian infrastructure continues to rise, leading to the destruction of homes across the country and cutting off access to critical services for millions of people. People are fleeing their homes to try to find safety elsewhere within the country and are crossing borders into neighboring countries and beyond.

With the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and neighboring countries deteriorating rapidly, the International Red Cross & Red Crescent Movement have activated all their emergency response mechanisms. Along with ICRC, IFRC, Ukrainian Red Cross and National Societies, the French Red Cross is undertaking a rapid and coordinated response. As the conflict is extending over the time, Movement partners are pursuing their collaboration to answer the needs, all over the country.
