Since the conflict began, the Ukrainian Red Cross has distributed 400 tonnes of aid, including food, bedding, blankets, tents, water, and hygiene items across the country. Another 350 tonnes of aid has arrived in Ukraine, including 200 tonnes from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) with war-wounded kits, kitchen sets, water and sanitation supplies. More aid is in the pipeline.  The Ukrainian Red Cross has also provided food, warm clothing and other aid to around 7,000 people sheltering in metro stations. They are also providing first aid, and have done first aid training for more than 12,000 people in metro stations and bomb shelters. To help protect people from freezing temperatures, we’re providing specialised items, like thermal blankets and insulated tents. ICRC is working to provide water and repair water infrastructure especially in areas in the east, where water supplies have been disrupted. They have set up water points and delivered water to villages and hospitals.   Red Cross support in Poland More than 2.1 million people have crossed into Poland over the past month.
