Bermuda Red Cross is launching a disaster cash appeal for those affected by the crisis in Ukraine.
We are gravely concerned about the intensification of fighting in Ukraine over the past few days.
People are losing their homes and lives; families are being separated. Essential services, like water and healthcare, are under threat.
Please donate today if you can.
The people caught up in this conflict must be supported and protected.
Even before recent developments, this eight-year conflict has hit people daily on all levels. It’s brought suffering, death, injury and separation from loved ones, as well as the huge mental toll of ongoing violence and insecurity.
We fear further escalation will worsen an already appalling humanitarian situation and wreak havoc on more lives.
As the security situation allows, the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will continue to respond to existing and emerging humanitarian needs. The Red Cross has supported people affected by this conflict for years and this will not stop now.
Your donation could help someone affected get:
- food
- water
- first aid
- medicines
- warm clothes
- shelter
Your donation will mean we can reach even more people in desperate need. Please donate today.
Donations can be made by direct deposit into the following account:

The best way to help a disaster victim is through a financial donation to the Red Cross. Financial contributions allow the Red Cross to purchase exactly what is needed for the disaster relief operation. The Red Cross initially responds to most international relief efforts with monetary support, and, when needed, ships items such as comfort kits, clean-up kits, medical supplies, tents, tarps and water. Monetary donations also enable the Red Cross to purchase relief supplies close to the disaster site, which avoids delays, and transportation costs in getting necessities to disaster victims. Because the affected community has generally experienced significant economic loss, purchasing relief supplies in or close to the disaster site also helps to stimulate the weakened local economy.
