To date the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused significant displacement, innumerable civilian deaths and injuries, and devastating damages to infrastructures. Millions of Ukrainians have had to leave everything behind to escape with their lives and today the situation remains still dire.
Standing by its Associate Member, the Ukrainian Food Banks Federation (UFBF), from 24 April to 3 May FEBA organised a visit to the country. The visit aimed to assess the current situation and needs as well as checking the level of development of the capacities of the UFBF.
