From Westmeath with love – Locals answer the needs of Ukrainians fleeing war

The need is great but so is the response – that’s the reality of Ukraine’s plight as thousands of people in Westmeath rally to the cause with donations of cash, food, clothing and medicines.

With international aid agencies appealing for help, people in the county are donating quality used clothing to be sent to help the estimated 1.3m refugees who are streaming across the Polish and Romanian borders from war-torn Ukraine.
