The heartbreaking circumstances regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have brought millions of people together. Many countries around the world have joined forces and started constructing a plan of action in order to help the people of Ukraine.
The invasion has started on the 24th of February and since then - thousands of Ukrainian citizens lost their lives and even more people have been left homeless, with no clothes, food and even water. People around the world came together to provide people who are fleeing or trapped with essential supplies, both - military and humanitarian. From weapons to food, clothes and even water.
The UK has also began actively helping the Ukrainian citizens, including the local Hull community. Hundreds of people have been getting involved by donating and delivering humanitarian aid. The collective that has been organising this is called Hull 4 Ukraine and was set up by Magda Moses. There have been a few other local, independent organisations that have also been carrying out similar actions, however Hull 4 Ukraine has been partnered up with the council and Hull 4 Heroes which has helped coordinate and lead the event. Hull is filled with incredible, big hearted individuals.
The main goal was to load up a lorry full of donated foods, medication, clothing items, blankets and duvets, sanitary products, baby items and so much more. A lot of local businesses, organisations and people have joined together and began working towards such an amazing target which was achieved in no time. The first lorry that has set off from Hull to Ukraine has made a lot of people emotional. Not only that lorry was carrying humanitarian aid - it also represented hope, love and sympathy. The results so far have been absolutely incredible and to this day people are still finding more ways to help Ukraine. Hull 4 Heroes have also set up an online fund, which anyone can donate money to. No matter how big or small the donation is, it will help change somebody's life.
