Since the beginning of the war, our aid worker has been in Ukraine to coordinate INTERSOS projects. \u201cWhat has surprised me the most is the resilience of the displaced people\u201d<\/h2>\n

Giulia Spini, INTERSOS operator<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

She is young, not yet 30 years old, but she has already had important experiences, such as in Nigeria, South Sudan and Afghanistan. Our worker Giulia Spini is now in Ukraine. She arrived at the beginning of the war as INTERSOS project coordinator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Giulia recounts her experience in the field during these four months of activities and how the lives of local people have changed during the emergency.<\/p>\n

INTERSOS assists displaced people in the central and middle eastern areas of Ukraine, between Vinnytsa and Poltava, in addition to the ongoing projects in Leopoli and Odessa. Here Giulia manages first emergency interventions for displaced people and coordinates local staff during the distribution of basic needs and in first social and psychological support activities.<\/p>\n

The outbreak of war in Ukraine required a rapid action from humanitarian organizations. INTERSOS immediately mobilized to help fleeing people from bombed areas. \u201cFrom the beginning, I was surprised by the resilience of these people. It is easy to empathize and think that any of us could be in an analogous situation. The composure and dignity with which these people are facing all this should be a life lesson for everyone<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the first phase of emergency \u2013<\/em>Giulia recounts\u2013 local authorities and volunteers excellently managed the humanitarian response. A chain of aid was very inspiring for humanitarian workers\u201d. \u201cNow \u2013 Giulia continues \u2013 our challenge is to activate interventions to support local systems to ensure long-term efficiency and at the same time avoid replacing them<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

The highly insecure background makes intervention management difficult. \u201cWe are constantly facing with the impossibility of predicting what may happen. That is why it is important to be ready to manage emergency situations in a short time and to be flexible<\/em>\u201d, the project coordinator explains.<\/p>\n

In this context, the psychological conditions of the displaced people are changing with the passing of time and mixed feelings are alternating among the population: \u201csome people \u2013<\/em>Giulia reports\u2013 continue to have an even more intense feeling of uncertainty and precariousness. Others, instead, are adapting to the situation.\u201d \u201cIt is in this state of insecurity \u2013<\/em>our worker observes\u2013 it is amazing how they are bound by a strong sense of community and mutual support, despite coming from different parts of the country<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

In such a situation, the mental health is a critical issue: the emergency impacts the community significantly. They feel confused and ask questions about their future. For this reason, overcoming this state of mental distress is also one of the most difficult challenges in the long term. \u201cPeople often seek answers about their conditions, some of them ask when they will return home. Moreover, who is suffering the most from this uncertainty are the elderly who would not have wanted to leave their homes. Compared to the young, for the elderly it is more difficult to adapt. Moreover, staying in temporary shelters is particularly problematic<\/em>\u201d, Giulia explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we want to report how the situation is evolving from the beginning of the project \u2013<\/em>Giulia explains\u2013 it is difficult to know how the condition of the community will improve. What is certain is that the new everyday life is significantly impacting the emotional stability of the displaced people<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
