  • 10 March 2022, Záhony, Hungary: A Ukrainian refugee man and his dog look around after arriving at the train station in Záhony, Hungary. A town of some 3,500 residents, Záhony has become a key border crossing for Ukrainians going to Hungary, particularly by train. Záhony residents support incoming refugees in a variety of ways, and a local high school has been repurposed to serve as a temporary centre for accommodation with a capacity for 250 refugees, as they pass through the town on their way onward into Hungary or other neighbouring countries. Following the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, more than 200,000 people have crossed the border from Ukraine into Hungary, to seek refuge from war and an increasingly desperate humanitarian situation.

  • 17 March 2022, Sculeni, Romania: A man visits an AIDRom support point by the Sculeni border crossing connecting Romania and Moldova. The border crossing at Sculeni, near Iasi, Romania, serves as an entry-point for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the atrocities of war caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Located at Romania’s eastern border, the crossing sees Ukrainian refugees enter Romania after passage through Moldova. As war wages on in Ukraine, the influx of refugees across Europe varies geographically depending on what cities are currently under attack in Ukraine. If the city of Odessa comes under heavy fire, large numbers of Ukrainian refugees are expected to take the route into Romania via the crossing at Sculeni.

In the past 24 hours, government figures indicate more than 50,000 people have crossed the border in search of refuge, an estimated 20 percent of whom are expected to stay in Romania, rather than transit into other European countries.

  • 16 November 2018, San José de León, Mutatá, Antioquia, Colombia: “My dream is that my children will have a better future than the one we are living, that they will continue to study, not become a man without letters, like me,” says Edilberto Reyes. Following the 2016 peace treaty between FARC and the Colombian government, a group of ex-combatant families have purchased and now cultivate 36 hectares of land in the territory of San José de León, municipality of Mutatá in Antioquia, Colombia. A group of 27 families first purchased the lot of land in San José de León, moving in from nearby Córdoba to settle alongside the 50-or-so families of farmers already living in the area. Today, 50 ex-combatant families live in the emerging community, which hosts a small restaurant, various committees for community organization and development, and which cultivates the land through agriculture, poultry and fish farming. Though the community has come a long way, many challenges remain on the way towards peace and reconciliation. The two-year-old community, which does not yet have a name of its own, is located in the territory of San José de León in Urabá, northwest Colombia, a strategically important corridor for trade into Central America, with resulting drug trafficking and arms trade still keeping armed groups active in the area. Many ex-combatants face trauma and insecurity, and a lack of fulfilment by the Colombian government in transition of land ownership to FARC members makes the situation delicate. Through the project De la Guerra a la Paz (‘From War to Peace’), the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia accompanies three communities in the Antioquia region, offering support both to ex-combatants and to the communities they now live alongside, as they reintegrate into society. Supporting a total of more than 300 families, the project seeks to alleviate the risk of re-victimization, or relapse into violent conflict.

  • 13 October 2022, Ichnya, Ukraine: 41-year-old Victoria Hlushko (right) in dialogue with Bhoj Khanal, team leader of the Lutheran World Federation in Ukraine, on the road outside what used to be her family home in the village of Bil’machivka, until Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and the apartment was destroyed in the fighting that eventually ensued on that same road outside her building. Inheriting the apartment from her father eight years ago, Victoria lived there with her husband, their son (3 years) and daughter (13 years) until the day it was destroyed. She recalls the family being just about to enter the apartment when an explosion hit the building as fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces took place at the road outside. They sought shelter in the basement, but as it became filled with smoke, they had to exit through an emergency back door and take shelter in another building in the village. The village of Bil’machivka, a community of just over 500 people north of Ichnya, Chernihiv Oblast, was just on the route taken by Russian military forces as they marched towards Kyiv following the invasion of Ukraine in the early spring of 2022. Many people lost their homes in this period, as fighting and attacks led to houses being either severely damaged, or simply razed to the ground.

  • 24 May 2022, Manychskaya, Russia: A pair of refugees from Mariupol, Ukraine, housed at the Russian Orthodox Children’s Shelter in honor of Saint Paraskeva in the village of Manychskaya, in southwest Russia. The shelter currently offers accommodation to a few dozen refugees from the Donbas region of Ukraine, in addition to its regular work in housing and accompanying so-called social orphans — children whose parents are alive and known, but who are currently unable to take care of their children on their own. Following the eruption of war in Ukraine, many refugees from the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine have taken refuge across the border in neighbouring Russia. Located close to the border, the Shakhty diocese (Russian Orthodox Church, Moscow Patriarchate) receives refugees mainly from the area of Donbas, the majority of whom are women and children. Close to a million people — most of them women and children — have fled from Ukraine to Russia according to mid-May figures from the United Nations (UNHCR) following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.
