Friend,
On Sunday night, two Project HOPE warehouses in Odesa and Kherson, Ukraine were damaged by Russian missile attacks. We are extremely grateful that all of our staff are safe.
The regions of Kyiv and Kharkiv, where Project HOPE has offices and widespread programming, were also targeted by Russian strikes over the weekend. While the increase in attacks create additional security considerations, Project HOPE is committed to continuing to care for the Ukrainian people and to meeting their critical health needs.
Giorgio Trombatore, our Country Director in Ukraine, reported:
“The people of Ukraine experienced a real-life nightmare this weekend as Russian attacks ramped up in the Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, and Kherson regions, endangering the lives of innocent civilians. In Odesa and in Kherson, two different warehouses storing Project HOPE’s humanitarian aid supplies including generators and health and hygiene kits were severely damaged. We are currently awaiting access to the area to assess the extent of the damage.”
In recent months, Project HOPE teams have expanded closer to the frontlines to distribute emergency drinking water, operate mobile medical units, and to monitor for emerging needs.
