Humanitarian aid distribution is being provided by People in Need together with its partner organization R2P on the ground. Humanitarian aid from the train will continue to the cities of Svatohirsk, Kharkiv and other places in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, some of it will stay to help people directly in Dnipro.

In the western part of the country, we have provided canisters so that people can use water from wells. We are continuing to equip collective centres with mattresses, blankets and sleeping bags, and we are preparing a system of financial support for the most vulnerable who have been forced to flee the war.
