Manx charity workers at Ukrainian border

Manx charity 'Hands of Hope' is working on the front line to help people affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 

Workers from the charity have been at the Ukrainian border with Romania assisting refugees.

In a post on social media, the charity says people are coming across in increasing numbers looking for accommodation and a time to draw breath before travelling to family in other parts of Europe.

The UN says the number of families fleeing the violence is growing rapidly, as are donations to makeshift centres across the UK to help.

It's warned the situation could become Europe's biggest refugee crisis this century.

Now, the charity has set up a justgiving page if people would like to donate to help them continue their work.

So far, almost £6,000 has been raised.
