As Ukrainian refugees start to arrive in Italy’s cities and towns, both international and local charities are spearheading the humanitarian effort. 900,000 Ukrainian refugees are predicted to arrive in Italy over the next six months — and around 50,000 have already made the journey here. But as the catastrophic situation in Ukraine rapidly evolves, the reception effort for refugees needs to continuously respond.
Charity organizations and people here have been swift into action and are stepping up in solidarity to provide help in any way they can, from donations to welcome boxes, homes, and hospitality. In the immediate response to the crisis, people’s selflessness has been humbling. But, with peace talks just in their infancy, what happens over the longer term as the war rumbles on into its second month? Will this spirit of goodwill and selfless sacrifice hold out?
