Short Description:

Found at the epicenter of the refugee crisis, the Suceava Red Cross provided humanitarian support to people from the refugee centers in Suceava County and the people who fled the war and took refuge in the Cernauti area.

 

Details

The situation between Russia, Ukraine, and Western governments had escalated since February 21, 2022, when the Russian president recognized two eastern regions of Ukraine as independent states and ordered troops to enter those territories. Countries have begun to receive and host refugees from Ukraine.

Neighboring Red Cross National Societies are government partners in action and are taking steps to increase preparedness and responsiveness for the impact of further escalation in their countries.

According to the mandate, the Romanian Red Cross is designated as an entity with the role of secondary support for providing drinking water and food for affected or evacuated persons, providing and distributing aid, organizing the reception and distribution of emergency humanitarian aid. In addition to these activities, the Romanian Red Cross provides human and logistical support in the accommodation provided by the state authorities.
