People in Guernsey have donated £150,000 so far to the Bailiff's Disaster Relief Fund for Ukraine.
Richard McMahon says he's delighted by the generosity shown by islanders.
"Yet again the people of Guernsey have shown great generosity, as they have also done for previous disaster appeals. I have been moved by the amount raised and am thankful too to the companies and organizations who have donated money or arranged events and activities with the proceeds going to the Fund.
The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine continues to unfold on our screens and in the papers, with millions of people affected by the war, bombing of towns and cities, and the vast exodus of refugees forced to flee their homeland to escape the invasion. Their suffering is unimaginable.”
Donations to the Bailiff’s Disaster Relief Fund will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee.
The English-registered charity works with leading independent humanitarian agencies to ensure money given by the British public is put to the best use to respond to major disasters overseas.
