Mission East is already present in the earthquake-affected areas of northwest Syria.

Mission East fundraised for Ukrainians affected by the war on the same day as the invasion. And quickly found partners both in Ukraine and at the border areas who were in full swing helping the refugees.

Ukrainians flee shelling and are received by Hungarian volunteers who work 20 hours a day to provide them with food, medicine and a place to rest. Betina Gollander-Jensen reports from a Mission East-supported center where the volunteers’ mood is high.

Mission East Managing Director Betina Gollander-Jensen is now at the Ukrainian-Hungarian border, where refugees are being given food, health checks and a place to sleep in a school that has been transformed into a refugee center.

Mission East has received DKK 8.5 million for Ukraine from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and can now help 30,000 war-affected Ukrainians.
