In two days, on March 2-3, Ukraine received about 1,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid from 12 countries, according to the Ministry of Social Policy.

In particular, these are 375 tonnes of food, 147 tonnes of clothing, 90 tonnes of personal hygiene products, 35 tonnes of medicines, 324 tonnes of other goods necessary to meet the vital needs of people who were forced to change their place of residence, affected by military operations, and also joined the territorial defense.

It is noted that the largest volumes of humanitarian aid are delivered to the territory of Ukraine through the Zakarpattia customs, as well as humanitarian aid comes through the Chernivtsi, Cherkasy, Volyn customs.

The department recalled that now when humanitarian aid is imported into Ukraine: there is no need to obtain a separate decision on recognizing the cargo as humanitarian aid; the recipient does not have to be included in the unified register of humanitarian aid recipients; the pass occurs without the application of measures of non-tariff regulation of foreign economic activity; customs and border services ensure the immediate passage of humanitarian aid across the state border of Ukraine.
