The war has triggered a humanitarian crisis on an unprecedented scale affecting the lives of every Ukrainian.
For 2 years we have been working alongside local staff to keep healthcare going and we’ll continue to be there as long as we are needed.

Six months have passed since the attack on 7 October that claimed the lives of around 1,200 people. In those six months, more than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed.

We reaffirm our commitment to remain in #Gaza and to continue our lifesaving work as long as we are able. 👇

We're delighted to see Ghislaine Howard and Michael Howard, with @gmcc_Fletch and members of @UKMED.
They're standing with pieces from her recent exhibition from Keele University Chapel, now installed around the UK-MED office space in Elliot house.

UK-Med has mobilised over 200 people to support the efforts in Ukraine, but 40% of Ukraine’s population are still in immediate need of humanitarian assistance.

With your help we will continue to be there for as long as we are needed.

Regarding the air strike that killed seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen in #Gaza

Over the last 2 years we have trained thousands of people in first aid and trauma care. But with 7.8 million people in #Ukraine still in need of support, we need your help to ensure we can continue to reach as many people as possible.

Overall, there are an estimated 7.8 million people in need of health assistance in #Ukraine . With limited access to healthcare and a crumbling health infrastructure, we are there to provide the life- saving medication that many people need.

Our #Libya response is complete. Nearly £150k worth of medical equipment, funded by UK Aid, arrived in Libya yesterday as a donation to the Ministry of Health.

Last September, our staff provided vital healthcare and support following devastating floods ➡ uk-med.org/2023/10/30/lib…

“I’ve been working to ensure that our surgical teams have the essential supplies they need to continue their life-saving work in #Gaza . The catastrophic humanitarian situation is on a scale that none of us have witnessed before.”
-Gemma Blakey - Associate Director of Logistics

In 2023, we treated more than 11,000 patients using our 9 mobile health clinics in #Ukraine . January 2024 saw intensified attacks on civilians with no end in sight, and people continuing to face challenges in accessing medical services.

Since the beginning of our response in #Ukraine we have trained over 200 health staff to provide thousands of mental health consultations and psychological support. No one should have to suffer the trauma we are witnessing in Ukraine.
