The Russian military began invading Ukraine on February 24th , 2022. The invasion is causing human suffering in the country and Ukrainian people are seeking help from the global community.
Many civilians are being killed everyday in the attacks and residents are seeking shelter for safety. Many people had to flee the country for their safety. It’s a moment of crisis for the Ukrainian people and together we can help them.
Ukraine Dam Flood Risks and Rescue Efforts
Help needed with flooded city, empty reservoir, thousands evacuated, and threatened power plants.
The destruction of the dam at the Nova Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant is causing significant impact on the residents of the towns situated along the Dnieper River, as it flows towards the Black Sea. Additionally, it is hampering the Ukrainian counteroffensive that began last Monday. While the breach in the dam is not seen as a threat to the national power grid, the region plays a crucial role in supplying water to the Crimea peninsula, currently under Russian occupation.
On Tuesday morning, satellite imagery and initial videos revealed the dam in a state of collapse and the subsequent flow of water. Additionally, satellite images obtained on June 5th depicted the destruction of a section of a nearby road adjacent to the turbine building, suggesting that the containment wall had already experienced damage.
With this situation Ukrainian people who were already facing many hard times of the invasion, will now be needing more support, help and rescue efforts.
Here are some of the ways we help the people of Ukraine.
World Center Kitchen (WCK)
The World Centre Kitchen (WCK) has been supporting Ukraine war victims by providing emergency food relief. In the initial days, WCK was feeding refugees fleeing Ukraine at border crossings. WCK is now helping within Ukraine, delivering meals and food kits to people in frontline areas.
WCK is providing food kits with approximately 22 meals each in Velyka Pysarivka—less than 4 miles from the border. Many buildings here have been destroyed & people are without power. Attacks in this region intensified & WCK is showing up for families impacted. #ChefsForUkraine pic.twitter.com/y4G7tIIc0t
