American Red Cross donates $10 Million for Ukraine Crisis Relief

As fighting in Ukraine continues, the American Red Cross has contributed $10 million dollars to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to help alleviate the suffering caused by this devastating crisis. This support allows the Red Cross network to provide lifesaving aid to those in need, both in the country and in neighboring areas.  Over 10 million people have been displaced by this conflict, nearly four million of whom have fled Ukraine to nearby countries. An estimated 18 million, a third of the country’s population, will need humanitarian assistance.  As the fighting continues and the dire humanitarian situation unfolds, the needs on the ground remain critical. Over the past month, the Red Cross has reached more than 750,000 people with life-saving aid, both within Ukraine and in neighboring countries.
