Emergency appeal
All donations for the Red Cross' emergency fundraising will be used to meet the needs of the victims of the conflict in Ukraine and those living with increased food shortages as a result of the conflict, e.g. residents of East Africa. Fundraising money is used to provide emergency services such as ensuring access to food, water, health care, shelter and providing psychological support. The collection also covers the Red Cross' relief work for refugees in Iceland.
