Our volunteers and professionals knew these people; theyre our family. He elaborated on the Build Together initiative, launched a week after the war began, which aims to reconstruct and rehabilitate the affected areas. Over 60% of the people have moved back, he revealed.

Robinson stated Its always about people. This is a generation of suffering, but we have to build resilience, and detailed collaborations with various organizations to support victims and rebuild lives.
