What Happens When Europe Gets Tired of the Ukraine Refugee Crisis?
Animated by volunteers, donations and goodwill, Europe’s humanitarian response to the flood of refugees from Ukraine is inspiring. We Jewish refugee aid groups have to plan for when funds and energy begin to wane
I have just returned from the Polish-Ukrainian border, from the crossings at Medyka and Korczowa. As head of HIAS Europe, I have seen many refugee crises, but never one as rapid as this. Since Russia invaded on February 24, over 50,000 Ukrainians have fled to Poland every single day, and they are still coming. The United Nations now estimates over three million have already fled — that’s almost one in 15 Ukrainians.
