As part of the Humanitarian Coalition, Islamic Relief Canada is working with our member charities to collectively respond as one to this tragic crisis as it unfolds.

UNHCR currently predicts up to 8 million people will be displaced inside Ukraine, and that 4 million refugees are expected to move to bordering countries as a consequence of the ongoing offensive.

Approximately 3 million people were already in need of humanitarian assistance before the invasion, a figure which is expected to rise exponentially. Children and the elderly are particularly affected.

The escalation of conflict in Ukraine comes amidst a surge of COVID-19 cases in the country, where the number of active cases surged by 555% between 15 January and 25 February.

We echo concerns from the international community regarding civilian casualties and welcome the response of countries to accept refugees.
