International Blue Crescent Foundation (IBC) continues its intense support and relief to the Ukrainian people.
In the conflicts that have been going on for more than 2 years, the Ukrainian people are experiencing great difficulties in reaching vital needs such as health, shelter, food and access to clean water, which are among the basic human needs. IBC continues to work meticulously in the region to solve the problems experienced in these vital needs.
IBC is taking steps towards consolidating its presence in strategic locations in order to carry out its activities more effectively and urgently. The Foundation established offices and warehouses in the Gagauz region as the first step of this mission, and later expanded its offices and warehouses to Southern Moldova, from Odessa to Olbastı, from Bolhrad to Mykolaiv and Kherson, to support Ukrainian refugees.
Over time, it continued its support for basic humanitarian needs and relief under many headings such as health, food security, shelter, non-food products, water sanitation and hygiene (WASH). In addition, the Foundation, which wants to take more responsibility for the support it provides in the region, aims to provide even more effective solutions with its donor Action Medeor was established Mavi Hilal Ukraine in cooperation.
