If you believe that in a war we must protect the lives of the most vulnerable, you are one of us.
Ukraine
The devastating invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army has forced more than 6.5 million people to leave the country, becoming the largest humanitarian emergency in Europe since World War II.
Open Arms could not remain on the sidelines. To provide an immediate response to the emergency, established an operational base with a team deployed in Warsaw (Poland)and helped protect the most vulnerable people, collaborating with other civil society entities.
Since March 12, 2022, we have been coordinating an air evacuation operation with 16 humanitarian flights from Warsaw, Poland, to various host locations such as Barcelona, Madrid, Canada, and Rome, among others. Thanks to a strategic alliance with Solidaire, which provided a Boeing 787-8 aircraft. We brought more than 2,800 refugees to safety, mostly elderly people and mothers with small children.
