The “Shield” organization collected humanitarian aid in food, fruit, and juice.
As Daer Saleh Muhamed noted: “For us, residents of peaceful regions, even with all the current information about it, it is difficult to understand and comprehend the level of the tragedy of people from Eastern Ukraine. They lived like everyone else: they worked, rested, studied, rejoiced, and grieved. The war broke into their homes swiftly, without giving them time to comprehend what happened and prepare. People rushed from their seats, almost without having time to collect their things. Having captured the most necessary, they left in any possible way to the neighboring regions, receiving a new status – migrants. From the first days, refugees needed material assistance since people often did not have necessities, personal hygiene products, not to mention food. That is why our organization, from the very beginning of the conflict, has constantly been assisting displaced persons. The most important thing is to understand that they are not unnecessary to anyone. There are people whose movement is impossible without a wheelchair among the settlers. Like no one else, they need constant material and moral support since they do not have and will not have the opportunity to survive on their own in this challenging time for Ukraine. “
The international organization “Shield” will continue to support refugees from Eastern Ukraine and the whole world since one of the priority goals of the Congress “Shield” is to ensure and protect the legal rights and interests of socially vulnerable people around the world, support and assist those who are acute needs it.
