35’000 blankets. Thousands of mattresses. Sleeping bags. Solar lamps. Jerry cans. Kitchen sets. Tarpaulin. UNHCR trucks are going from #Poland to #Ukraine every day. By the way, the brave truckers are from Poland 🇵🇱, Ukraine 🇺🇦, and Russia 🇷🇺. And they are best friends. #UNHCR 🇺🇳 https://t.co/bkAR3p95FN

I met Irina and Valentina in Medyka and their fate touched me. That’s why I wanted to tell their story. And especially the one of Andrii. He became a refugee in the second month of his life. If you want to know why we should support #Refugees, read this story. #Ukraine️ #UNHCR https://t.co/vk7gb0KXPH

8000 square meters. A Jumbo Jet could park here. But UNHCR’s warehouse in Rzeszów, Poland is almost empty. Because UNHCR's relief supplies go immediately from 🛫 via 🚚 to where they belong: To the people in need in #Ukraine. Kudos to the drivers who are doing the tour every day! https://t.co/jlBIPnPguT

It is two weeks now. The two sentences I have heard the most: „When do you think we can go home again?“ And: „I miss daddy so much.“ #Ukraine #Refugees https://t.co/0HfCbdq1cB

The situation at the border between Ukraine / Poland is a little more relaxed. Budomierz reports no waiting time at all, at least at the Polish side. But snow and freezing temperatures are a threat. Remember, 90 percent of the refugees are women and children. #Ukraine️ #UNHCR 🇺🇳 https://t.co/nGv6rvIxN0

Interesting data from the Polish border guard. According to @Straz_Graniczna 90 percent of the refugees are women and children. 92 percent are citizens of #Ukraine️, so 8 percent are third country nationals. With 1.27million refugees this is a figure of more than 100’000. #UNHCR https://t.co/OLtHeuQXjt

UNHCR confirms: Two million refugees! In just twelve days! The vast majority women and children. #UNHCR is here to help. This dimension, this pace is without precedent. #Ukraine #Refugees https://t.co/b306jT9Ain

Poland 🇵🇱 just reported 1.2 million refugees. In 12 days! I can’t remember another #refugee crisis with that pace. 141’500 refugees arrived yesterday alone. But: First time not an increase, but a slight decrease, even if only by 800. And the solidarity stays! #Ukraine #UNHCR 🇺🇳 https://t.co/Alr6GQIbW3

Urgently needed aid arrived in Rzeszów, Poland today. The 26‘000 blankets immediately continue on their way to Ukraine to help the people there. 12 million Ukrainians are in need of humanitarian aid, according to the United Nations 🇺🇳. Let's not abandon them! #Ukraine #UNHCR https://t.co/9BuMSzrqH4
