Epic has announced that it’s raised over 50 million dollars via Fortnite for humanitarian relief to Ukraine as part of its pledge to support the country amidst the Russian Invasion. This comes only three days into this effort to raise funds, with all proceeds coming in from now until April 3 adding to this gargantuan amount.
Rather than just congratulating Epic Games on this incredible move that will no doubt save lives in Ukraine – which, to be clear, they absolutely deserve – we thought we’d take the time to compare this amount to what countries around the world have donated to the humanitarian effort, in order help put into perspective just how big of a impact this’ll have for the civilians in need.
The great country down under has made a major effort when it comes to supporting the Ukrainian people. In addition to $96 million in military funding, the country has provided upwards of $50 million in humanitarian assistance. That means that as it stands right now, any humanitarian aid a person may receive in Ukraine right now is as likely to be paid for by the people of Australia as it is the denizens of Fortnite.
