Composition of the humanitarian cargo
The humanitarian aid package includes long-lasting food products: cereals, pasta, flour, sugar, tea, condensed milk, instant noodles, canned meat, fish, and vegetables, as well as confectionery. These products are convenient for storage, stockpiling, and meal preparation.
Residents of the new regions were sent essential household hygiene items: paper tissues and towels, toilet paper. For children — stationery supplies for studying and creativity, as well as special food and diapers for the very young. In addition, pet food was collected for animals left without owners’ care; this shipment will be sent to shelters.
Assistance to participants of the special military operation
Part of the cargo is addressed to the participants of the SVO. Volunteers have prepared warm accessories: hats, scarves, mittens, gloves, gauntlets. In addition, special equipment — electric heaters and generators — will be delivered to the fighters to provide the premises with heat and electricity.
The aid delivered to the new territories was transferred to regional headquarters and the partner of the “Moscow Helps” project — the “Okvean-Donbass” center. Its volunteers handle distribution: part of the cargo is sent to social institutions, part to the participants of the special military operation and their families who need support. In addition, aid is distributed at the “Okvean-Donbass” headquarters to people living in temporary accommodation centers and to children from foster families.
One of the volunteers in Donetsk is Artur Saadulaev. He was born and raised in Moscow, and then moved to Donetsk to provide permanent assistance to the residents of the new territories.
“We gather the necessary items, prepare the cargo, help unload and distribute the contents on site. Volunteers transport humanitarian aid, sort it according to needs, and participants in humanitarian missions, like me, deliver the cargo in the territories. For me, this is an opportunity to contribute to the common cause. Every delivered cargo, every item handed over is a contribution to tomorrow,” shared Artur Saadulaev.
