All across the country, Ukrainians are living in fear, with sirens blaring day and night. Kherson, Melitopol, and Berdiansk are under occupation. In Mariupol, nearly 90% of the houses are completely destroyed. Zaporizhzhia, Mykolayiv, and Dnipro are bombed nearly every day, with significant casualties. In Kharkov, three people were killed at a bus stop, one of them was a 12-year-old child. Due to the difficulties getting goods into the country, prices for basic supplies are skyrocketing. In the areas being bombed most heavily, communication systems are down making it increasingly difficult to coordinate deliveries of food and medicine. Many of the buildings that remain intact lack hot water and have broken windows and doors.
JRNU has staff and volunteers on the ground in all these locations, getting food and supplies into the hands of the people who need it the most. With your support, we can continue to provide these lifesaving services.
