Attendees were encouraged to pack items such as soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, women’s sanitary towels and nappies in their luggage when travelling to the Hungarian capital for the event taking place across the weekend.
Items were brought to the city’s InterContinental hotel hosting the conference business sessions on Sunday (20 March), where a delivery to the Hungarian Red Cross was organised by Clia.
The association said it had received "a number of messages" in the days leading up to its conference from delegates asking how they could support the humanitarian effort in Ukraine, which neighbours Hungary.
