TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan’s donation of medical supplies has arrived in Poland, where it was accepted by that country’s Governmental Strategic Reserves Agency (RARS) on behalf of Ukrainians.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said in a press release that the donation, shipped on Monday (Feb. 28), was made in the spirit of “Taiwan Can Help.” Taiwan’s Representative to Poland Bob Chen (陳龍錦)on Friday (March 4) presented the donation to Polish representatives, who will help transfer the supplies to Ukrainians.
As a member of the international community’s democratic alliance, Taiwan is working and will continue to work with countries that share similar beliefs to help Ukrainians rebuild, per MOFA. The Taiwanese government has combined its efforts with the public’s kindness to help Ukrainians overcome hardships, the ministry added.
According to an earlier report, after MOFA set up a Ukrainian refugee fund through the Relieve Disaster Foundation, Taiwanese donated NT$102.9 million (US$3.66 million) in less than 48 hours. On Saturday (March 5), the Relieve Disaster Foundation reported that it had received an additional NT$100 million within a day.
The foundation said it will continue to accept donations through April 1. Those who wish to donate may do so online through https://wabay.tw/projects/twuk or via ATM or bank transfer to the following account:
