New project: Aid-post in Reni.
Reni is a border town in South-West Ukraine. It’s located on the banks of the river Danube on close to where the borders of Ukraine, Moldova and Romenia meet. Due to it’s location the town, and more specifically its harbor, is a major transit point for Ukranian grain.
Through our work with Lukas Spital in Romenia we were recently made aware of a major crisis at the border crossing point in Reni. Hundreds of trucks (and their drivers) and 1000’s of refugees were stuck there. Border crossing options are very limited causing a huge backlog.
This has resulted in a crisis were 1000’s of people are stranded in an area which cannot care for them. There is insufficient accommodation or sanitary services, food and water are in extremely short supply and there is no healthcare available.
