The Ukrainian Red Cross Society has opened an assistance center at a site damaged by Russian air strikes in Kharkiv, Interfax-Ukraine reported. The relief team is providing local residents with drinking water, hot drinks, snacks, and psychological support. [1]

According to Interfax-Ukraine, the aid group is distributing material assistance based on immediate needs. The supplies include OSB boards and tarpaulins to offer temporary cover for damaged houses, alongside food parcels, hygiene kits, and sleeping kits. [1]

The Ukrainian Red Cross Society is a non-profit humanitarian organisation that has been a member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies since 1993. It manages disaster response, healthcare services, and activities that protect human dignity. As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, emergency volunteers from the group previously set up assistance points and assisted rescue workers in Kharkiv following strikes in early October. [2][5][6]

Russian attacks against Ukrainian civilian areas have continuously exposed populations to harm since 2022. The United Nations documented that thousands of civilians have been killed during the conflict. The emergency response team from the Ukrainian Red Cross continues to operate in Kharkiv to support affected residents. [1][4]
