DURATION: 1 month
Context
As of 27 November 2014, OCHA estimates that nearly 500 000 people are internally displaced, leaving the armed-conflict areas. While the International Committee of the Red Cross is leading the humanitarian activities in armed-conflict areas, the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) is leading the humanitarian response in all the other regions of the country, with the support of Red Cross/Red Crescent movement components. The support is mainly focusing on First-aid trainings/assistance, support to internally displaced people (IDPs) and support to returnees since the onset of the crisis.
The medical and social centers/rooms of the Ukrainian Red Cross have been providing for decades support to the most vulnerable people, in different domains: nursing care, psychological support and supplies of basic items such as clothes, hygienic items, food and medication. Ukrainian Red Cross counts today 660 centers all over the country, staffed with 3200 nurses. Since the onset of the crisis, the Ukrainian Red Cross is helping the internally displaced people (IDPs) requiring assistance. For example, in Zaporizhzhia city, over the last months about 95% of the people visiting the main Red Cross center were IDPs, fleeing from Donbass region.
The French Red Cross, together with other Partnering National Societies (PNS), is willing to better support URCS on-going actions in these centers. The Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Department of the European Commission (ECHO) will also soon release guidelines for grants to IDPs. Different Red Cross PNS present in Ukraine have already expressed interest in submitting an application to ECHO as a consortium.
