European governments and NGOs are trying to help the Ukrainian population as best they can after Russia’s invasion. Spanish citizens are showing solidarity, and it is from Spain that we can contribute and help the people besieged by the war. Here are some proposals.
Thousands of Ukrainians are fleeing their country in fear of war and are entering nearby countries as refugees. Specifically, the UN puts the number of people fleeing Ukraine at 500,000. Those who have stayed behind are facing supply problems and a severe humanitarian crisis.
The absolute power to help the Ukrainian population lies with the world powers. NATO is meeting to see what they can do without having to intervene militarily. Still, we can always do our bit to make the beleaguered people as well off as possible in this terrible situation.
The main sites to help Ukraine
Food collection points
The Hermandad del Gran Poder in Seville welcomes donations from the public with open arms. In the ground floor of Calle Marqués de San Juan, 3, in Valencia they also offer help.

In Barcelona, those interested in helping only have to go to Cáritas in Calle Bálmes, 100, in Madrid you can go to Ukramarket in Calle Méndez Álvaro, 8.
