Faced with the magnitude of the Ukrainian refugee crisis in Europe, Senator Esther Benbassa, of Paris, visited Poland on March 22 and 23, 2022. She was able to visit the Ukraine/Poland border, the central railway station of Warsaw,and the humanitarian center PTAK. On site, the senator was received by the managers of ADRA Poland, who took her to the different sites. From her perspective, "there is a strong mobilization of young volunteers". Most of the donations seem to come from organizations or individuals and there is no lack of resources to meet the essential needs of the refugees.
The reception in Poland is generally up to par and the presence of young volunteers, mobilized and coming at their own expense, is quite massive.
Back in France, Esther Benbassa received the president and the secretary general of ADRA France at the Senate on March 28. They had the opportunity to talk with her about her trip to Poland, but also to present ADRA in more detail and to exchange dialogue on the actions of ADRA France.
The senator expressed her solidarity with the Ukrainian refugees and praised the strong mobilization of all the actors involved.
