ShelterBox Canada supporting Ukrainians
In the last 10 days, more than 1.7 million people are reported to have fled Ukraine to neighbouring countries in freezing temperatures, facing an uncertain future.
The situation in Ukraine is rapidly changing, and ShelterBox is committed to supporting families affected by the crisis in Ukraine.
“ShelterBox routinely responds to conflict-related displacement, providing families with a range of items, including emergency shelter, heavy blankets, sleeping mats, water filters, solar lights, kitchen sets, tools, and more,” said ShelterBox Canada Executive Director Stephanie Christensen.
“We customize our humanitarian aid packages to meet the unique needs of the displacement. We are working to understand where and how we can make the biggest difference in this rapidly-evolving crisis.”
ShelterBox is coordinating with local authorities, Rotary International, and other aid organizations.
ShelterBox has worked in Ukraine previously. It carried out emergency responses to floods in 2003 and 2008.
ShelterBox also conducted assessments in 2014 following the outbreak of the ongoing conflict in the Donbas region.
