The situation in Ukraine
Political situation
Due to the war of aggression of Russian President Putin on Ukraine, the humanitarian situation of the people in the country is catastrophic. There is widespread warfare throughout the country, including against civilian facilities. Around 7 million people are now displaced within the country.
The Ukrainian population is putting up fierce resistance to the invasion, both militarily and in civil society. For the time being, no end to the conflict is in sight; on the contrary, the current situation is expected to worsen.
Social situation.
Since the beginning of the war, the Ukrainian population has faced immense suffering. Part of the population is fleeing their homeland. Another portion desperately and courageously fights together with the Ukrainian military against the Russian attack. The humanitarian conditions in Ukraine are worsening day by day. Daily deaths, injuries, lack of food and medicine, desolate supply of water and electricity.
Cap Anamur has already supported two clinics in the conflict zone of Eastern Ukraine in 2015-2018.
