The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) has intensified its efforts to evacuate civilians from the Donetsk and Zaporizhia regions, which continue to be battlegrounds in the ongoing conflict. These areas, marked by heavy fighting and frequent shelling, have displaced numerous families, prompting the URCS to coordinate large-scale rescue operations. The organization is working alongside local authorities and international partners to facilitate the safe departure of civilians to safer zones within Ukraine.
According to the URCS, the evacuation process involves setting up temporary transit points, providing necessary medical aid, and ensuring the transportation of vulnerable groups such as children, elderly individuals, and pregnant women. The team has also been distributing emergency supplies to those remaining in the affected areas, emphasizing the need for humanitarian support amid the ongoing crisis. The organization’s actions reflect a broader commitment to preserving human life and dignity during times of war, aligning with international humanitarian law.
