Nova Ukraine, a non-profit here in the Bay Area, is working to help with what will surely be an ongoing humanitarian crisis as hundreds of thousands flee the escalating violence in their homeland.
PLEASANTON — The escalating violence in Ukraine has now forced more than a million refugees to flee across the border to neighboring countries – like Poland and Romania. A million more people are displaced within Ukraine.
“These people will need to be settled. They will need clothes. They will need someone to help them,” says Igor Markov, the director of Nova Ukraine, a non-profit humanitarian aid group that has been helping Ukrainians since 2014. Markov says than, right now, many people are leaving their homes with only what they can carry.
During talks on Thursday, Ukraine and Russia were able to negotiate safe corridors for civilians to evacuate Ukraine and also for aid to come in.
