One of the devastating aspects of the war in Ukraine is the huge number of people – the UN estimate the figure at 12 million – who have fled their homes with little more than the clothes they were wearing.
Around seven million people are still thought to be displaced inside Ukraine itself, many in the western region of Rivne and Sarny where Christian charity Mission Without Borders (MWB) is operating.
Here, MWB, in partnership with local churches, has been busy providing thousands of food parcels containing items like pasta, rice, cooking oil, vegetables and water, as well as hygiene parcels with shampoo, washing powder, soap and nappies. Accommodation has also been found for nearly 17,000 families, along with clothing and shoes.
