Nobody knows how long Lemberg/Lviv will stay safe…

Lviv became the city that took in the largest number of refugees in Ukraine. On March 10, more than 200,000 people in Lviv were on the move to protect themselves from rocket attacks. Every day their number grows by tens of thousands. 440 cultural and educational institutions and 85 religious organizations help with the accommodation and care of refugees in Lviv. The exiled Belarusian organization Nash Dom (Olga Karatch) is now helping the refugees who landed in Lemberg with their local partners and with the support of the German section of the International Society for Human Rights/IGFM. “Today we delivered four trucks with humanitarian aid to a makeshift refugee center in Lviv. There are about 800 people there, including many children. They brought diapers, baby food, blankets, pillows, towels, canned food, warm clothes. Part of this humanitarian aid was donated by Belarusian volunteers from Poland. Their boxes had stickers with Belarusian symbols on them. This aroused surprise and admiration from the Lviv Center volunteers who helped us unload. – We continue to work!” – says Aleksey Frantskevich. Aleksey is the head of the eponymous voluntary fund “Our House”, which has been collaborating with Olga Karatch’s “Our House” since 2020. He had then joined the active aid to oppressed Belarusians, but on February 24 this year he and his team immediately switched to helping refugees from the war unleashed by the Putin regime. “We hope that the help to Lviv will not stop overnight. Although large trucks are constantly arriving in Lviv, they are being sucked into the city like nothing and the situation is not only close to a humanitarian crisis – the crisis has already begun. Nobody knows how long Lviv will stay safe…
