Early on the morning of April 9th, two friends of Oleg kindly brought us back again to Iasi airport. Over the weekend we would prepare for our visit to L’viv.
In Warsaw we met Beata, President of Federacja Polskich Bankow Żywności, the Polish Food Bank. Poland has welcomed more than 3 million fleeing from Ukraine, more than any other country.
“The food emergency in Poland has been a dramatic reality for the last 2 years. People have lost their jobs because of pandemic, and we had an increasing number of people experiencing poverty. Now the war has come and made everything even worse” explained Beata “The situation is evolving and it’s difficult to predict how to respond. We don’t know if refugees plan to stay here or will go back to Ukraine. But this makes even more difficult to plan and deliver the aid efficiently.”
