We are helping hospitals so they can continue to save the lives and health of people in the frontline area.
When we entered one of the hospital rooms in Shostka, there was a mother and her baby boy - one of the survivors of the tragedy at the railway station. The mother was lying with extensive injuries, and by her side was a little boy of about 12 years old, whose arm had been broken by the numerous shrapnel and flying debris that had to be picked out.
On the way home, we stopped at the train station where the wagon that had been hit by the Shahid drone was still standing. The explosion and subsequent fire had completely destroyed it. The train was full of passengers. How many people died here? Railroad workers who were just trying to remove debris from the tracks told us that officially about 6 dead, but some of the victims were so charred that they could not be identified or even counted. And dozens of wounded ended up in a local hospital.
Here, too, we understood why the doctors and medics in the hospitals along the front line were so extremely grateful for the medical supplies and equipment we brought them... That's why it made sense for us to travel all the way here and personally deliver the humanitarian aid. Thank you to ADRA's partners in Sweden and Austria who are helping us fill the trucks and to the dedicated individuals who are contributing their small donations for the transport.
Thank you to all of you who support our ministry so that together we can alleviate the suffering of innocent victims.
