KIEV, April 15 – The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is asking donors to allocate additional money to resolve humanitarian issues in eastern Ukraine after a year of intense fighting.
"The fragile ceasefire, agreed in February, has enabled ICRC teams to more clearly assess the situation in front-line areas. The needs of displaced people, the wounded, the detained and those trying to rebuild their lives, are serious. The ICRC is requesting donors to provide an extra 32 million Swiss francs ($34 million)," reads an ICRC press release issued on Tuesday.
