What happens when architecture meets empathy? Through the challenges of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, architect and humanitarian Slava Balbek, who volunteers part-time on the front lines, highlights the importance of designing for dignity when building temporary housing for the people of Ukraine who have lost their homes. A stirring reminder of the healing power of the built environment — and how it can provide comfort amidst chaos.

@katefedorchenko2783
February 23, 2024 at 8:44 am
Well, he could have and yet it would lead to nothing because Ukraine was not killing civilians in Donetsk, or Luhans’k, or any other Ukrainian town, city or village. Ukraine was invaded my russia. How do I know? Well, I’m from Donetsk region, I live in Kharkiv now and I now what life in Ukraine was like before russia invaded us and what it is like now. Side note, I could also literally see with my own eyes missiles flying from Belgorod, the city in Russia, to Kharkiv from my balcony. I can’t see this anymore because russians have moved their missiles launching vehicles to another place. Also, you should come up with another propaganda claim because everyone already knows very well that this is Russia that was and is bombing us

This might be the end of it but Gaza is a refugee camp controlled by terrorists. Hate has been pumped into both sides because they claim the land.

لبنان 🇱🇧

دوروثي كلاوس، مديرة شؤون الأونروا في لبنان حذرت من تأثير هذا الأمر على أكثر من 250 ألف لاجئ فلسطيني هناك يعتمدون إلى حد كبير على خدمات الوكالة. وفي حوار خاص مع أخبار الأمم المتحدة، نبهت كلاوس إلى أن تجميد التمويل يعني أيضا أن “38 ألف طفل في الصفوف الدراسية من الأول إلى الثاني عشر لن يتمكنوا من مواصلة تعليمهم”.
وفيما يتعلق بالخدمات الصحية التي تقدمها الأونروا في لبنان، قالت كلاوس إن 200 ألف لاجئ فلسطيني يزورون مراكز الوكالة الصحية سنويا، والتي تساهم كذلك في تحمل ما بين 50 و60%، وفي بعض الأحيان أكثر من ذلك، من نفقات علاج لاجئي فلسطين لدى القطاع الخاص في لبنان. وقالت المسؤولة الأممية إن المساعدة النقدية التي تقدمها الأونروا إلى 65% من لاجئي فلسطين، مكنتهم من خفض الفقر من نسبة مذهلة تبلغ 93% إلى 80% حاليا.
وشددت مديرة شؤون الأونروا في لبنان على أنه “لا يوجد أحد قادر على تولي هذه الخدمات” التي تقدمها الوكالة للاجئي فلسطين في لبنان. وأفادت بأنه منذ بدء التصعيد في المنطقة في تشرين الأول/أكتوبر، “وضعنا خطة طوارئ حيث قمنا بإعداد 12 مدرسة من مدارسنا لاستضافة النازحين الذين ليس لديهم مكان آخر يذهبون إليه”.

«No matter where Ukrainians happen to spend their night, be it in an emergency shelter, or some good samaritain’s home” – reminded me on how I like to make each air raid nice and cozy. In the middle of the night I wake up because of an emergency alarm. I put my warm and soft clothes on. Make a thermos with a hot black tea, always with some sugar and lemon to keep the level of serotonin high. Then I take some stools, blankets and a mat for my dog. Then I wake up my dog and we go down to our shelter. Oh, the snacks for the dog are also always in my pocket! Nice and cozy 😌 as it can be during an air strike…
