“MSF currently has operations across Ukraine as well as neighboring countries to assist Ukranians fleeing the conflict as well as those who have remained or been trapped.  I’m currently with a team assisting populations in the locations where they are sheltering from regular airstrikes and shelling.  These shelters are crowded and resources are limited, but it’s amazing to see how people are supporting one another.

MSF is providing medical consultations and material support to these communities.  As the Water and Sanitation (WATSAN) Engineer on the team, I’ve been looking at ways to increase the quantity and quality of drinking water available in the shelters.  We’ll be installing some small, packaged reverse osmosis systems for drinking water later this week as well as providing essential hygiene materials.

Elsewhere MSF is assisting with critical medicine including medical evacuations of wounded.  Some colleagues of mine organised a medical train last week to evacuate patients to a referral hospital in the west of the country.

As a non-governmental organisation, our activities are dependent on donations, largely from private individuals.  Every little bit helps!”
