Join the urgent fundraiser to support survivors of a dam break on the Dnipro River in Ukraine! The Hydroelectric Dam in the occupied city of Nova Kakhovka in Kherson region was damaged by Russian military troops and the wall collapsed on June 6th. Millions of tons of water rushed down from the reservoir, destroying everything in its path. We are collecting now humanitarian aid needed to survive, mitigate risks and restore houses for people affected by this disaster.
The people who experienced the horrors of war and occupation during last 15 months faced an unprecedented catastrophe. Their housing and all things were under water at one moment. Administration reported that 16,000 persons in 20 settlements on the right bank of the Dnipro River are located in the flooding zone where the water level reaches 6 meters. Part of the Kherson city is flooded. The consequences of the dam explosion for the environment, public health and the economy are enormous.
