March 2022 – On February 23, 2022, Russia initiated a comprehensive invasion of Ukraine. The onset of hostilities has caused civilian casualties, power and water infrastructure damage, and people’s displacement, mainly towards the west of Ukraine and into bordering countries. It is estimated that more than 2.9 million people require humanitarian assistance, with more than 500,000 people fleeing to neighbouring countries and more than 100,000 people internally displaced. With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross Society (CRCS) dispatches emergency relief supplies to support the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in meeting the emergency shelter and water, sanitation and hygiene needs of people impacted by the crisis in Ukraine and surrounding countries.

The expected outcome for this project is increased access to essential non-food items to vulnerable and at-risk populations. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
