A few days ago, our team returned from Kharkiv Oblast, Balaklia, a city that was recently liberated by the Ukrainian military after 6 months of brutal occupation. The purpose of the trip was the acute need of people who survived the occupation for food and basic hygiene products.
All these months, people lived in fear, they were mocked, their neighbors and acquaintances were tortured to death. There are a lot of casualties among the civilian population.
After the deoccupation, people were able to calm down a little, because now their hometown is controlled by the Ukrainian military.
When people saw a car with a red cross, they ran out of their houses for help. We were able to provide them with food, hygiene products, and household chemicals. We will continue to support these regions, because the need there is very great.
