As the conflict rapidly escalates in Ukraine, we will continue to update you on our assessment and response.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is setting up emergency response activities in and around Ukraine:
In the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, our teams have already distributed medical kits to treat war-wounded people and have provided telemedicine training in trauma care to 30 surgeons from eastern Ukraine.
Our emergency teams have arrived at the Polish-Ukrainian border and are currently trying to get essential staff and supplies into Ukraine to set up emergency response activities across both sides of the border. We will also carry out assessments along Ukraine’s border with Russia and Belarus.
Our staff have seen many exhausted refugees cross over the Ukraine-Poland border on foot, in cars, and on buses—some with infants less than one month old. We have donated basic shelter items to a reception center in Poland and are working to step up our response.
With active fighting ongoing, determining the true extent of medical needs in Ukraine remains challenging. Our teams are preparing for a wide range of scenarios to make sure we’re ready to adapt our response as necessary.
