Turkish Red Crescent (Kızılay) will send humanitarian aid to Ukraine on Friday in response to a call for support by the Ukrainian Red Cross to assist those affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

“We are sending a humanitarian relief convoy to #Ukraine to address urgent basic needs, coordinating with Red Cross Ukraine,” Kerem Kınık, the head of the charity, said on Twitter.

“Our teams are being deployed to the region with warehousing tents, family-type tents and mobile catering vehicles for evacuees and #IDPs (internally displaced people),” Kınık added.

Stating that he is concerned about a possible refugee crisis, Kınık said all humanitarian leaders should act more actively to prevent this.

“We are ready for all kinds of humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian Red Cross,” said Kınık.
