Emergency relief Ukraine

action medeor continues to provide emergency aid and supports people in and from Ukraine in a variety of ways.

In action since the outbreak of war

The scale of aid for Ukraine is unique in the history of action medeor: from the outbreak of the war in February until mid of 2024, more than 900 tons of medical supplies have been sent to hospitals throughout Ukraine. Included in this: Medicines such as painkillers and antibiotics, but also important medical supplies such as bandages, syringes and cannulas, and medical equipment such as oxygen concentrators and ultrasound machines.

Help for the whole country

Our partner hospital in Ternopil received the first delivery two days after the outbreak of war. Together with the hospital, action medeor then set up a distribution center in the western Ukrainian city: Medicines, materials and medical equipment are stored there and distributed to healthcare facilities throughout the country: Hospitals in Lviv, Kiev and the Mariupol region, among others, have been supplied in this way.

Ambulances save lives

A special form of aid was launched by action medeor for the first time at the end of March 2022: Two ambulances for the care of emergency patients were made available to the Ternopil hospital. Since then, six vehicles have been delivered to different regions of Ukraine.

Help in neighboring Moldova

In addition to the aid deliveries from the medicine warehouse in Tönisvorst to Ukraine, action medeor also launched emergency aid measures for refugee families in Moldova. Moldova - a neighboring country of Ukraine - is one of the poorest countries in Europe and is in need of support due to the influx of refugees. As part of a project alliance with the organization IBC, action medeor is distributing food parcels to refugee families. Families are also provided with further support: this includes household appliances such as washing machines, but also beds and blankets for families who had to leave everything behind in Ukraine.

Medical aid is urgently needed

The reports from our partners on the ground often leave us speechless. Support is still urgently needed - not only in the form of medical supplies, but food is also lacking everywhere. There is a constant threat of food shortages. action medeor has therefore already sent the first shipments of pasta, flour, sugar and other foodstuffs to Ukraine. In winter, stoves, warm clothing and blankets are needed - action medeor is also taking care of this.

However, we can only provide as much help as we have donations available. Support us with your donation to continue helping the people in Ukraine.
