Organisers of an appeal for items to be sent to Ukraine from Co Tyrone and Co Fermanagh say they have been ‘overwhelmed’ by the initial response to the campaign.
Members of the polish community in Strabane, Omagh and Enniskillen launched the appeal for essential items earlier this week, with thousands of items being donated and dropped off at the Basia polish stores.
Medical supplies were among the items donated by a raft of local companies free of charge, with the donations to be shipped to Poland before making their way to Ukraine.
