Six months of assistance on report

Hungarian Interchurch Aid (HIA) has been active in Ukraine since the establishment of the organisation in 1991. It has been scaling up its Ukrainian work since the outbreak of the 2014 conflict. With the onset of war on 24 February, HIA immediately started to prepare its response both in Ukraine and in Hungary. Now, half a year later we’d like to present you with this report on our efforts in this humanitarian crisis, accompanied by selected stories from the field.
