Nearly 120000 people have fled the country into Poland and other neighbouring countries. Most of those fleeing the invasion are women and children as all men aged 18 to 60 are being told to stay and fight. Khalsa Aid has been serving fresh meals to students who took a train to Poland on Saturday.
As the situation worsened in Ukraine after the Russian invasion, nearly 1,20,000 people have fled the country into Poland and other neighbouring countries.
Poland alone has reported more than 50,000 arrivals in two days, while thousands more have streamed further south into Moldova, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia.
As people continue to flee invasions, a humanitarian effort pioneered by Sikh organisation Khalsa Aid is helping them in this hour of need.
