Said an FOI worker in Ukraine, “It took me 30 hours to drive from Kyiv to the Ukrainian border with Poland. The roads were blocked by the Ukrainian military. We waited at the border for 3 more days. The border crossing is a humanitarian disaster with a line of cars for 30 km. I saw many women and children walking across the border on foot. Monday night, I crossed the border with two Jewish families from Kyiv in my car. Finally, after arriving at the safe house in Poland and four sleepless nights, I fell asleep for the first time.”
FOI continues to collect funds from around the world for its Eastern European Relief Fund. Every dollar goes exclusively to the humanitarian effort to provide safety, shelter, medical treatment, and survival equipment to men, women, and children coping with the trauma of fleeing their homes. Dr. Mike Stallard, director of International Ministries, shared, “We anticipate that Jewish refugees will flee to other European countries, as the problem appears to be a long-term issue. The devastating impact of this invasion has no immediate end.”
