The Ukrainian Red Cross (URC) is helping victims in Kanev after a Russian air attack.
“This night Cherkassy region was also attacked. Rapid response squad and team of Cherkassy regional organization of the Ukrainian Red Cross together with the State Emergency Situations Department of Ukraine in Cherkassy region and Cherkassy regional military administration are assisting the victims,” the UCC said on Facebook on Friday.
The UCC aid station is operating, where volunteers are preparing hot drinks, providing water and snacks for rescuers and local residents. People whose homes were damaged are receiving OSB boards, film, blankets and other materials from the Ukrainian Red Cross to temporarily repair damaged houses. Volunteers of the rapid response squad are also ready to provide first pre-medical and psychological assistance if needed. The mobile medical brigade team provides medical consultations and stabilizes the condition of victims who seek help.
According to the Cherkasy regional military administration, a school, a kindergarten and at least seven high-rise buildings have been damaged in Kanev. The destruction of critical infrastructure left part of the community without gas, water and heat. Ukraine’s State Emergency Situations Service said 10 people were injured in the massive Russian attack, among them a 10-year-old boy.
