Bombing, fighting and internal displacement have escalated throughout Ukraine, impacting the National Council in Kyiv and local YMCAs throughout the country. Many YMCA staff and volunteers have left the country or fled their homes to Lviv and other cities in Western Ukraine. There are now more than 10,000 civilian casualties and more than 1.7 million Ukrainian refugees have fled to neighboring countries in the past 11 days. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency, this is now the fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. YMCA Europe and Y-USA are in daily contact with national and local leaders from YMCA Ukraine. 

YMCA of the USA's World Service Campaign is working in coordination with YMCA Ukraine, YMCA Europe and the World YMCA to help people and communities who are impacted by the conflict. YMCA Europe has already disbursed emergency funds to YMCAs in Romania, Moldova and Ukraine in support of the emergency services they are providing to refugees fleeing Ukraine and internally displaced people inside Ukraine.
