USA for UNHCR also urged everyone to take part and help out the people in need β mentioning Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively. Posting the following statement on their Twitter:
More than 120,000 people have fleed from Ukraine to neighboring countries β Poland being one of them. Families have split up. Mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, and the elderly are moving to safe zones while men aged between 18-60 stay behind to defend their land.
As this situation continues to escalate, thereβs no telling what will happen in the days and weeks to come. USA for UNHCR stated on their website regarding the conditions of Ukrainian refugees:
βUNHCR is on the ground. Your compassionate support can help provide emergency supplies, lifesaving care and protection the moment Ukrainian families are forced to flee for their lives. You will help children, women and men displaced by violence in Ukraine know they are not alone at the most devastating moment of their lives.β
