Samaritan’s Purse is providing food and non-food items to suffering families in Ukraine while airlifting medical supplies into the country as fighting rages on. In partnership with churches in Ukraine, we are transporting these urgently needed relief supplies to families suffering in areas impacted by conflict.

• Samaritan’s Purse has served more than 1.5 million people throughout the first four months of this response. We have distributed nearly 7,000 metric tons of food within Ukraine in partnership with the local church.
• Twenty airlift missions have brought relief for those struggling inside Ukraine.
• More than 7 million refugees from Ukraine have spread across Europe, the United States, Canada, and other countries worldwide. Many millions are also internally displaced due to the conflict

Through 20 airlifts—18 of which were carried out through our DC-8 cargo jet—Samaritan’s Purse has transported hundreds of tons of relief items, including our Emergency Field Hospital, medical supplies, food, and hygiene kits. We continue to bring in new shipments of supplies nearly every week and are working in close partnership with churches in Ukraine to get these items to communities where the need is urgent.

Specifically, through our Medical Airlift Program, we have transported more than 170 metric tons of medical supplies to Ukraine to assist in resupplying the local, strained health system.
