It’s now 2025, and the war in Ukraine has been raging for nearly three years. The need for support has never been greater. C4I Ukraine is working tirelessly to assist the Jewish community in Ukraine, providing aid and hope in these difficult times.
Today, we have Koen Carlier in our studio to share firsthand insights into their crucial work and the current situation on the ground.
As Christians for Israel, we have a large team of staff and dedicated volunteers in Ukraine. We are ready to help people evacuate from the area affected by the disaster and we informed the Jewish communities about this.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has again been very unsettled. Especially in big cities like Odessa, Nicolaev, Kherson, Zaporozhe, Nikopol, Kharkiv, Dnepr and, of course, the capital Kiev.
On Wednesday morning, 17 November a few olim (immigrants) left Kiev airport and went to Israel permanently. We picked up families in Chmilnitsky, Vinnitsa the day before for an overnight stay in our shelter in Kiev.
We have now constantly 2 people visiting cities and villages where elderly Jewish people in need and Holocaust survivors live who are on the program. People get different help according to their needs but in general we help the elderly in need with medicines, extra food and hot meals.
