John, my name is Tamara and I am a Content Officer for the International Rescue Committee in Kyiv, Ukraine.
After nearly four years of war, we are living through the hardest winter yet. Millions of people are struggling to stay warm. Airstrikes continue to damage our hospitals, schools and energy infrastructure. Countless people have been left without heat or water—and entire cities are cut off from electricity for hours on end.
But repeated blackouts and freezing temperatures have not stopped us.
Take a look at a few photos from my colleagues here in Ukraine of how they're powering through the winter storms:
Across Ukraine, we're continuing to deliver critical supplies including medical assistance for families suffering in the cold, generators to help hospitals continue running and financial support for families to buy fuel and firewood.
