IFRC’s regional director for Europe and Central Asia talks about the conflict that has impacted not just the European continent, but the entire world. Birgitte Bischoff Ebbesen explains how the principle of neutrality — along with an inspiring level of humanitarian solidarity — has helped the IFRC assist some 18 million people impacted by the crisis. Mental health services are now at the forefront of our response, she says, but Europe is also facing numerous other humanitarian challenges, from climate change to migration.
