Iceland has opened its hearts and borders to those who are now fleeing the war in Ukraine. On Ísland.is/ukraina you can find information for those who want to support Ukraine. It is a collection of information on Icelandic NGOs that are in cooperation with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

There you can also register housing for refugees. The Multicultural Information Center in Iceland handles the registering.

Financial contributions and resources to Ukraine

Direct funding is generally of better use than equipment and data from the general public. It is therefore generally recommended that those who wish to contribute to aid organisations and other resources because of the situation in Ukraine examine direct financial support to United Nations agencies and organisations already in the field. Here is information on individual collections run by Icelandic NGOs that cooperate with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs:

• Barnaheill – Save the Children á Íslandi

• Hjálparstarf kirkjunnar

• Rauði krossinn á Íslandi

• SOS barnaþorpin á Íslandi

• Landsnefnd UNICEF á Íslandi

• Landsnefnd UN Women á Íslandi

• Þroskahjálp
