Facebook Adds Community Resources To Give Ukrainians Assistance & Medical Aid
Facebook has updated its Community Help resources with additional information from the United Nations and Red Cross to better assist Ukrainians caught in the middle of the ongoing conflict.
According to Engadget, the new information will allow citizens in the nation to seek medical help and assistance not only in Ukraine but also in neighboring countries that have opened their borders.
Furthermore, the portal now lists the WhatsApp hotline for Ukraine’s State Emergency Services, which users can add to their contact list to quickly connect with professionals should the need arise.
Hypebeast reports that Facebook and Instagram have placed the Community Help section at the top of feeds for relevant users, and searches pertaining to Ukraine or the invasion will display it in the results.
Additionally, Facebook has improved its Emotional Health Center with mental health tips from international organizations, including the World Health Organization and International Medical Corps.
These resources will be available in Ukrainian, Russian, and English to reach most of the country’s population.
