On February 24, 2022, families in multiple Ukrainian cities—including the capital, Kyiv—woke up to the terrifying sounds of Russian missiles and rockets. As the invasion continues, many shaken residents have to shelter for their safety in subway stations and underground parking structures. Leaving their homes behind, some families have no option but to flee to neighboring Poland. Most devastatingly, this attack has resulted in multiple lives lost.
Conflict over the last eight years has left hundreds of thousands internally displaced and almost 3 million people in need of humanitarian aid. The number is only expected to rise as the invasion will have devastating consequences for people in Ukraine.
