Canadian charities join forces to raise funds for Ukraine

In response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces, leading Canadian aid agencies – through the Humanitarian Coalition – are launching an appeal to raise funds and rush emergency assistance to people in need.

As part of the Humanitarian Coalition, Islamic Relief Canada is one of these charities working with other member charities to collectively respond as one to this tragic crisis as it unfolds.

Approximately 3 million people were already in need of humanitarian assistance before the invasion, a figure which is expected to rise exponentially. Children and the elderly are particularly affected.

The escalation of conflict in Ukraine comes amidst a surge of COVID-19 cases in the country, where the number of active cases surged by 555% between 15 January and 25 February.

UNHCR currently predicts up to 8 million people will be displaced inside Ukraine, and that 4 million refugees are expected to move to bordering countries as a consequence of the ongoing offensive.
