Two Years of War in Ukraine – Two Years of Unimaginable Suffering for an Entire Nation
These days mark the second anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine For two years now, we have been experiencing on the ground the suffering that this war is causing people. Our aid remains in place to ensure that the Ukrainian population continues to have access to medical care.
Since the end of 2023, the intensity of hostilities in eastern Ukraine has increased again. Despite the tense security situation, we are able to maintain our emergency aid. We regularly supply the hospitals near the front with relief supplies and urgently needed medicines, consumables and technical equipment.
Last year, we focussed on the following aid for the people of Ukraine:
April 2023:
Delivery of an ultrasound machine for the first aid hospital in Kramatorsk
May 2023:
In Chernivtsi, support was provided for the renovation and expansion of a refugee centre. We have renovated washrooms and set up two canteen kitchens, helping to improve accommodation for around 200 internally displaced persons.

Cap Anamur continues to provide emergency aid in Ukraine
Our project coordinator Peter will soon be bringing a bus to Ukraine to support the mobility of elderly people from Vysokopillya in particular. The small town was liberated again in September 2022 after six months of Russian occupation. The infrastructure of the entire region has suffered under the occupation. People no longer have the opportunity to buy essential goods. The bus can now be used to travel to the nearest larger town, for example to do the shopping or visit the doctor.
