Members of the Ukrainian community on the Costa del Sol have multiplied their efforts to send aid to their home country due to the emergency situation created by the Russian invasion.
Based on a parking site for caravans on the San Julián industrial estate, volunteers from the association Maydan, have been receiving donations of food items and medication to send to Ukraine by road.
The association has been sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine for several years, since the conflict began in the separatist region of Donbas, "But now they need us more than ever," said Anna, one of the volunteers who help run the association in Malaga.
"Some pharmacies have sold us [items] at a discount, and others have donated directly," said Victoria Slyunko, 28, who came to live in Spain when she was 12, as she sorted through bottles of surgical spirit, saline solution and bandages, ready to be loaded on a van that left for Poland on Saturday.
The association has said that the items most needed include healthcare supplies such as bandages, cotton wool, iodine, plasters and painkillers, as well as feminine hygiene products, torches, blankets and sleeping bags, batteries, baby food, airbeds, dried fruit and nuts, energy bars, chocolate and tinned foods, among others.
Calls have also gone out for people willing to take in Ukrainian families or children who have fled the country. Anyone interested should contact the Ukrainian consulate on 636548017 or email malagaucr@gmail.com.
