The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) is working in Kharkiv and Mykolaiv at the sites of liquidation of the consequences of night air strikes by the Russian army.
"Kharkiv. A Ukrainian Red Cross rapid response team in Kharkiv region worked alongside the city's special services at the site of attack aftermath...

The Ukrainian Red Cross Society set up a support point at the attack site where victims and rescuers can get water or tea, charge mobile phones and receive psychological support. Humanitarian aid is provided to victims based on their needs, including OSB boards, tarpaulins, window films, drinking water, blankets, food and hygiene transit kits, children's sleeping sets and other essentials.
