GlobalMedic has worked closely with local Ukrainian partners over the years. We are supporting internally displaced people as well as those exiting Ukraine into neighbouring countries with food, shelter, clean drinking water, hygiene items and more. We will continue to evaluate needs and gaps to see where programming can be most effective.
One year after the Russian invasion, the crisis in Ukraine is still escalating. The assaults have caused extensive disruptions in Ukraine's infrastructure and resources. In Ukraine, nearly 16 million people seek assistance with water, sanitation, and hygiene. Families are also at danger of contracting water-borne infections, which can be fatal, if they do not have access to safe drinking water.
Our Rapid Response Teams (RRT) have been on the ground in Moldova, Romania and Ukraine providing aid to Ukrainians displaced by the war. The RRT has sent 16,200 Family Emergency Kits with a household water purification unit, hygiene items and a solar light to Ukraine and Moldova. In total, we have supported the packing and distribution of more than 160,000 food hampers amongst hardest hit areas.
As much as possible, GlobalMedic is purchasing aid in Ukraine and neighbouring countries in order to strengthen the economy and encourage host communities to continue welcoming refugees with open arms. We have shipped firefighting gear to strengthen capacity of local firefighters. We are also running food hamper and hot meal programs where Ukrainians are hired to help support refugees and internally displaced people.
