Ambulances and medical supplies for Ukraine

The war in Ukraine has been raging for months has claimed many lives. In many cases, the life-saving work of doctors also depends on being able to provide the wounded and sick with the right equipment. From the very first days of the war, Hungarian Interchurch Aid has been supporting medical institutions in Ukraine with medicines, medical supplies, respirators and ambulances, thus conveying the cross-border solidarity of our international partners and the Hungarian people towards the Ukrainian nation.

In recent weeks, we have provided medical supplies and ambulances to Dnipropetrovsk County, Umany and Mochola settlements in Ukraine. The delivery of life-saving humanitarian supplies by HIA was made possible with the support of Christian Aid and the Hungarian-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
