Given people’s willingness to offer support for the population affected by the conflict in Ukraine, we have updated the ‘Barcelona, Refuge City’ website as a central point for all information and to help facilitate shelter for refugees. The website includes up-to-date information in different languages, including Ukrainian, along with all the resources available for citizens wishing to help out.
The website Barcelona, Refuge City includes the following:
- Details on social organisations and NGOs responding to the humanitarian crisis on the ground, and for people wishing to make donations.
- A list of organisations running donation campaigns for materials, medicines and clothing, in coordination with the Ukrainian authorities.
- The procedure for providing shelter for child and adult refugees.
- Information of how to become a volunteer.
