Read the experiences of Alla, an 84-year-old resident of a nursing home in Mykolaiv, as she copes with the ongoing war and tries to stay positive.

The war in Ukraine has affected the lives of millions of people, driving 10 million out of their homes, and creating unprecedented humanitarian needs inside the country. To date, 14.6 million people need urgent humanitarian assistance. The IRC has been present in Ukraine since February 2022, working hand in hand with local partners to provide vital support to conflict-affected people to help them survive, recover and regain control of their future.

An intense war in Ukraine has created mass displacement and is fueling a humanitarian crisis unlike any in Europe since World War II.
