The Kherson Region Emergency Situations Authority has asked us for urgent assistance in procuring relief supplies.
Russian troops have destroyed the Kakhovka Dam on the Dnipro River. Huge volumes of water from the 2,500 square kilometer reservoir flooded large areas of land below the dam. The city and region of Kherson are also affected.
Many people and animals are trapped and need to be evacuated. To rescue them, the Kherson Emergency Services (DSNS) urgently needs inflatable boats with outboard motors.
We reacted immediately and financed two evacuation boats. The four-meter-long Kolibri 400D inflatable boats with Suzuki outboard engines cost 3,400 euros each.
These additional relief supplies will now Urgently needed:
- Motor pumps
- Rescue and search drones
- Food (e.g. canned goods)
- Baby and children's food
- Life jackets and protective vests
- Waders (rubber trousers) and waders
- Hygiene products
For this we need your support. Help now to rescue and donate directly here or at PayPal.
We also continue to accept donations in kind at our collection points. You can find the addresses and all information on our Page with the requirements overview.
