The dust has settled after the rocket explosion in Dnipro

Ukraine

Since the escalation of the war in February 2022, until mid-October 2024, nearly 6.8 million refugees4 from Ukraine have been recorded – 92 per cent of them in Europe. Inside Ukraine, an estimated 3.6 million people5 remain internally displaced as of October 2024.

Among the most vulnerable are also an estimated 12.6 million as of March 2025 people who were not displaced from their homes but who have been directly affected by the war – they have been wounded, their homes have been destroyed, their family members died.

Civilian infrastructure, such as power grids, water supply networks. hospitals transportation infrastructure, have been targeted by the daily missile attacks, severely disrupting people’s lives across the whole country, and particularly in the East.

About 3 600 educational institutions, including nearly

2 000 schools,

have suffered damage with some 371 educational facilities totally destroyed since the escalation of the war.
There were over

2 100 attacks

on healthcare facilities, which have claimed at least 197 lives, including those of health workers and patients, and injured many more, severely disrupting health services.

The dust has settled after the rocket explosion in Dnipro. The topic has faded from the headlines although the rescue operation is still ongoing. The search for 20 people is still ongoing. 44 people have died, including several young children. Media interest is waning, but the need has not lessened. There are more and more of them.

Jan, the head of our team in Dnipro is coordinating the work on the ground. Together with the Good Factory team, we are organising psychological support and supplying immediate response tents with medication. Our team visits the residents of the four neighbouring buildings affected by the explosion. They have no windows, but the entire neighbourhood is also without electricity, gas and mobile coverage. In addition, it is cold. All this makes our Warm Packages a basic and urgent need at the moment.

Thank you for your support! If you know of anyone else who would like to support the affected very concretely, please share the link to the fundraiser with them.
