Amid the ongoing conflict, The Singapore Red Cross has pledged to contribute US$100,000 to support affected communities in Ukraine. 

The money will go towards providing relief supplies such as hygiene kits, family kits and household kits for the vulnerable who have been displaced by the conflict, according to the Singapore Red Cross in a media release.

“The humanitarian needs on the ground will continue to rise as the conflict intensifies. Working with our Red Cross Movement partners, we will continue to assist the affected communities, many of whom could potentially lose their homes and all their belongings,” said Mr Benjamin William, the Secretary-General and CEO of Singapore Red Cross. The public appeal will end on May 31.

Currently, Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on February 28 that it would donate US$100,000 (SG$135,618) to the Singapore Red Cross to help Ukraine. 

The Singapore Red Cross has also activated its “Restoring Family Links” (RFL) service to assist Singapore residents who are looking to locate their family members who may have been affected by the fighting.
