The current situation is alarming, with thousands of civilians leaving their homes fleeing from war. This call is for immediate reaction with aim to prevent the humanitarian disaster and save thousands of lives, and to prevent exodus of refugees inside and from Ukraine.
We are facing human rights violation, where the lives of civilians are directly endangered.
Therefore, we invite all stakeholders to provide support to the people who stayed in Ukraine, protect those who were forced to flee and do everything to create conditions for them to return as soon as possible to their homes.
