Over the past five weeks, our teams in Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Moldova have been working tirelessly to address the most urgent needs of those impacted by the conflict in Ukraine. We have directly reached more than 313,000 men, women and children with health, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), gender-based violence prevention and support, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) supplies and services.
- In Ukraine, International Medical Corps has delivered tons of supplies, including 112 pallets of vital medicine, medical supplies and health kits—enough for more than 309,000 people for three months—to 12 health facilities. Next week, our logistics team will distribute personal protective equipment and reproductive health kits to additional health facilities throughout Ukraine.
- In partnership with Polish Medical Mission, we established four medical units at the border crossings of Kurczowa and Dorohusk.
- Last week, we held our first psychological first-aid (PFA) training session in Kyiv since the invasion, reaching 107 participants.
- We have conducted two PFA training sessions, reaching 21 first responders, in Poland, and have two additional training sessions planned for the coming week.
