UKRAINE EMERGENCY
OTB FOUNDATION IS THE FIRST UNHCR SUPPORTER
OTB Foundation was the first to respond to the urgent appeal launched by UNHCR to support people and families forced to flee within their national borders and to neighboring countries.
Less than a week after the start of the armed operations, it is very difficult to pinpoint the number of internally displaced people in Ukraine, but it is estimated that over 100,000 people had to flee their homes to take shelter. More than 600,000 refugees have already crossed Ukrainian borders in search of safety in neighboring countries, but the numbers are growing by the hour.
Thanks to the help of OTB Foundation, UNHCR will be able to ensure initial direct economic support to fleeing families to help them cope with the most urgent needs.
